Mathematical truth is built on logical reasoning and consistency. Human reasoning alone cannot fully know God. But it is helpful. Thus, human beings think, perceive, and act accordingly via human reasoning and spiritual truth (Christian biblical truth).

Babies are conceived and born through a natural biological process that begins when a sperm cell from a man and an egg cell from a woman join together inside the woman’s body, in a place called the fallopian tube. When the sperm and egg combine, they form a single new cell called a zygote, which contains the genetic information from both parents. The zygote begins dividing into many cells and travels to the uterus, where it attaches to the uterine wall; this is called implantation. Over time, the developing baby grows from an embryo into a fetus as its organs and body systems form, supported by the mother through the placenta, which provides oxygen and nutrients. After about nine months of development, the baby is born through the process of labor and birth, when the mother’s body works to deliver the baby from the uterus into the outside world.
Steps of physical birth (Cursed in Adam)
1. A sperm and an egg join in the fallopian tube.
2. They form a zygote that begins dividing.
3. The zygote travels to the uterus and implants.
4. The baby develops from embryo to fetus, supported by the placenta.
5. After about nine months, the baby is born through labor and birth.

Salvation is the sovereign work of God applied to sinners processed in the logical order of redemption. From eternity, God elects His people by grace alone, not on the basis of foreseen faith or works, and in time He effectually calls them through the preaching of the gospel. By the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit, the sinner is given new life, enabling true repentance and faith in Christ. Through faith alone, the believer is justified, declared righteous before God on the basis of Christ’s righteousness imputed to them, and adopted into God’s family as a child and heir. This salvation continues in sanctification, as the Spirit progressively conforms the believer to the image of Christ, and is secured by God’s preserving grace in perseverance. Salvation is finally consummated in glorification, when believers are fully and forever freed from sin and death and brought into perfect communion with God.

1. Election – God chooses His people by grace alone from eternity.
2. Effectual Calling – God calls the elect through the preaching of the gospel.
3. Regeneration – The Holy Spirit gives new spiritual life.
4. Faith and Repentance – The regenerated sinner responds to Christ.
5. Justification – God declares the believer righteous in Christ.
6. Adoption – The believer is received into God’s family as a child and heir.
7. Sanctification – The Spirit progressively conforms the believer to Christ.
8. Perseverance – God preserves the believer in faith to the end.
9. Glorification – The believer is fully freed from sin and brought into perfect communion with God.
