To God Be The Glory! Spectacular! Thank you, Pastor for this uplifting and inspiring message. Every Christian in the world could benefit from this 16 minute sermon. I am going to listen to it again and again.
Great Sermon! What a comfort this sermon was for me! I’m one of those very timid Christians who is always afraid to share the gospel, because I don’t like confrontations and because I sinfully put the burden on myself, rather than on the Lord. This sermon reminded me that the gospel is not only Just about words, but that it comes to people with the power of the Holy Spirit. No one will be saved by MY words, but only by the words and the power of Almighty God. What a wonderful truth, that relieves me of thinking I have to say it all perfectly!
Unerring Wisdom His providence, like a finely tuned watch movement with all the gears, wheels, and springs, moves every part of creation toward time's end in harmony with his perfect will. Divine engineering allows for no flaws in the machinery, no slips or hiccups. The workmanship is exquisite, and we progress inexorably with it. Let us then give thanks and praise to him who has designed with unerring wisdom this prelude to eternal life.
Great Sermon! Some Christians think you can lose your salvation. It follows, then that they believe they have to do something to keep their salvation which is a misunderstanding common today.
Here's the reality.
The Father gave the Son a commission:
John 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
Here's what Jude had to say:
Jude 1:24-15 Now unto HIM THAT IS ABLE to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
The Son is charged with the job of preserving that which belonged to the Father and was given to the Son to redeem in time. Jude says He is able. I agree.
