The Doctrine Of Predestination Stated And Set In The Scripture Light

Summary

The sermon systematically presents the doctrine of predestination as taught in Scripture, emphasizing God's sovereign and eternal decree over all things, including election and reprobation. It argues that election is unconditional and based solely on God's grace, not on human works or faith, which is a result of election rather than its cause. The sermon also defends the doctrine against objections, particularly those raised by Mr. Wesley, clarifying that reprobation is a just and sovereign act of God consistent with His justice and glory. The ultimate purpose of predestination is the manifestation of God's glory through salvation and judgment.
