Why Election?

Summary

The sermon explains the doctrine of election, emphasizing that God chose individuals before the world began to receive spiritual blessings such as justification, adoption, sanctification, and redemption. It highlights that election is not about human merit but about God's love, faithfulness, sovereignty, and justice. The ultimate purpose of election is to manifest the manifold wisdom of God to the heavenly realms through the church. The sermon also contrasts the national election of Israel with the broader spiritual election revealed in the gospel, which includes both Jews and Gentiles.
