The Doctrine of Predestination

Summary

The sermon explores the doctrines of election and predestination, emphasizing their biblical foundation and the common resistance to these teachings due to misconceptions about free will. It explains that humans are spiritually bound by sin and only freed through God's predestined plan, which includes foreknowledge, calling, justification, and glorification. The preacher highlights the doctrine of adoption, where believers are chosen by God before the foundation of the world and brought into His family through Christ's redemptive work. The sermon underscores that salvation is entirely God's work, accomplished through Jesus Christ's sacrifice, not human effort or decision.
