The Limited Commission

Summary

It discusses the dual purpose of the gospel as a message of salvation for believers and condemnation for rejecters, highlighting the sovereign grace of God in conversion. The preacher also addresses the significance of the new covenant promised in Jeremiah, which involves God's law written on hearts rather than stone, signifying an inward transformation.
