Welcome to Sociology 101. My name is Layton Flowers. I'm the director of evangelism and apologetics for Texas Baptist.

And the purpose of this video is to give a brief overview of the title or label called

provisionism. Now, I know many people don't like new labels or new isms. I don't like them either,

but labels are necessary in theological discourse to help people to understand what you believe and

why you believe it in a simple way.

There's nothing special about these labels, whether it's Calvinism or Armenianism or

Molinism or Augustinianism or Pelagianism or all the other isms of man throughout human history.

They're created labels to help us to understand doctrine.

And provisionism is just one that we've recently coined because it really does capture

what we want to highlight, and that is God's provision for all.

God is a good God. He's recognizably good, meaning that a God who provides, a God who loves is a God who sent his son to die for the

sins of the world. Good people provide for those in need. I think we could all talk about those that

we would consider good people within our churches and our neighborhoods. The people who are

considered good

are those, of course, have a relationship with a father, but what is recognizably good about that

person? Typically, one of the most known and seen characteristics for someone who's considered good

is that they provide for others in need.

And that's what we say when we say God is good.

He's a God who provides.

If someone is lost, he provides atonement.

He provides a means of reconciliation.

If someone is dead, he provides a life-giving truth.
