What Christ gives to His elect is better than what Boaz gives

Matthew 19:29 - the point is not about forsaking house, family or lands but rather in Christ we have eternal life. Whereas Boaz Ruth 2:11 gives earthly goods Christ gives heavenly goods.

The Gospel presupposes election

The Bible connects election with the Gospel. You cannot have a gospel message without election. Christ died for the elect alone, He lays down his life for the sheep alone, His church. He prays for her in John 17. In Matthew we see how election is connected to the gospel message of Christ. Matthew 3:12, speaks of the wheat and the tares. Matthew 11:25, says no one knows the son but those whom God chooses. Matthew 13:12, says Jesus speaks in parables so that His people will believe. He says it was given to His people to know the mystery of the Kingdom. In v. 38, it is spoken of the good seed which is the children of the kingdom. The tares as in Matthew 3:12 are the children of the wicked one. In Matthew 13:47, It is said that the gospel saves only few people, it is not meant to save every single human being who has or will ever live.

What Matthew 19 is really saying

Matthew 19, which Macarthur butchers, is not about making Christ lord. But is about the impossibility of becoming saved by human free will. Man is totally depraved from birth and therefore cannot come to the saviour until God changes the sinners disposition. With this it is impossible with man but with God all things are possible.

Christ professes to be God

In Matthew 4:7 it is said that Jesus is being tempted by Satan to fall off the cliff. The response of Jesus shows not only that he relied and correctly applied the word of God; but, that He Himself is God in the flesh - Emmanuel - God with us.

The Christian Hope in the midst of Trials and Persecution

Matthew 24 is not about us knowing when but rather knowing that Jesus will return. The great hope is that Christians will be saved and not condemned.

The hearers are to judge what is taught

"Christ says in Matthew 7[:15], 'beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.' Observing that he here assigns the judgment not to the prophets and teachers but to the pupils or to the sheep. For how could one beware of false prophets unless one examined judged, and gave a decision on their teaching? There can be no false prophets among the hearers but only among the teachers. Consequently all teachers and their teaching should and must be subject to the judgment of the hearers." - Martin Luther, Right and Power of a Christian Church, Pg. 327

God's thoughts are not our thoughts but that does not mean we cannot think God's thoughts after Him

"As for Deuteronomy 29:29, Matthew 11:27, Luke 10:22, and John 1:18, 6:46 (see v. 45), these verses actually teach that human beings can know God and his thoughts truly to the degree that he reveals himself in his spoken word. Finally, Isaiah 55:8-9 far from depicting 'the gulf which separates the divine knowledge from human knowledge,' actually holds out the real possibility that people may know God's thoughts and urges them to turn away from their own thoughts and to learn ...God's thoughts from him. In 55:7 God calls upon the wicked man to forsake his way and thoughts. Where is he to turn? To the Lord, of course (55:6-7). Why should he forsake his way and thoughts? 'Because,' says the Lord, 'my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways' (55:8). The entire context, far from affirming that God's ways and thoughts are beyond the capacity of humans to know, on the contrary, expressly calls upon the wicked man to turn away from his ways and thoughts and to seek God's ways and thoughts. In doing so, the wicked man gains ways and thoughts which, just as the heavens transcend the earth, transcend his own. Far from teaching that an unbridgeable gulf exists between God's thoughts and our thoughts, these verses actually call upon the wicked man, in repentance and humility, to seek and to think God's thoughts after him." - Robert Reymond, A New Systematic of the Christian Faith, Pg. 101 2nd ed.
