Try the Spirits

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical concept of discerning true spiritual teaching, emphasizing the necessity of recognizing the Spirit of God through the confession of Jesus Christ's incarnation. It contrasts monergism, where God alone effects the new birth and salvation, with synergism, where believers cooperate with God in discipleship and obedience. The preacher highlights that while salvation is entirely God's work, Christian living involves active cooperation with God, urging believers to live obediently and separate from unbelievers. The message underscores the security of salvation in God's sovereign work and the responsibility of believers to persevere in faith and holiness.
