The Critic Responds

Summary

The sermon explores the critic's objection in Romans 10:14-15 regarding belief and hearing the gospel, emphasizing that salvation depends on faith rather than human effort or gospel instrumentality alone. It highlights Satan's deceptive strategies, including false apostles who masquerade as ministers of righteousness. The speaker stresses that God's grace teaches and transforms believers internally, and the gospel serves as a powerful but not exclusive means of communication with the regenerate. The message affirms the sufficiency of faith and the direct work of God in salvation and sanctification.
