Not By Works Of Righteousness

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that salvation is not achieved through works of righteousness but by the grace and mercy of God, as demonstrated in Titus 3:5. It highlights the transformation brought by regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Spirit, making believers pure and zealous for good works. The preacher stresses the importance of understanding predestination correctly, rejecting the idea that God predestines anyone to hell or that salvation can be earned by works. Good works are important as evidence of faith and to glorify God, but they do not contribute to salvation, which is a gift from God through Jesus Christ.
