The Word 'Perish'

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical meaning of the word 'perish,' emphasizing that God is longsuffering and not willing that any of His elect should perish but that all should come to repentance. It highlights examples from Scripture where 'perish' refers to physical death and contrasts this with eternal perishing, which does not happen to those who have eternal life through faith in Christ. The preacher underscores the security of the believer's salvation, the importance of faith, and the responsibility of Christians to avoid causing others to stumble in their faith. The message concludes with the assurance that God will not return until all His elect are born again and saved.
