Mr. Collier refutes the popular idea that God's gifts to the reprobate are a show of non-saving love, favor, and mercy. Then Mr. Collier demonstrates from Scripture that God grants such things to the reprobate in order to bring about good for the elect and damnation for the reprobate.
The gifts given to the reprobate are a curse to him, not a blessing.
This is the first of the "3 Points Of Common Grace" published by the 1924 Synod of Kalamazoo (CRC).
