Divine Enlargement and Spiritual Obedience

Summary

The sermon explores the concept of divine enlargement of the heart as essential for spiritual obedience and growth. It explains that the heart, representing understanding, conscience, and affections, can be contracted by guilt, unbelief, and spiritual darkness, but God alone can enlarge it through the Holy Spirit's work. This enlargement enables believers to obey God's commandments joyfully and actively, including faith, repentance, love, and perseverance in the Christian life. The preacher emphasizes the necessity of divine power for true obedience and warns against legalism and self-reliance.
