The Universal Reign of Death

Summary

The sermon explores the universal reign of death as a consequence of sin, emphasizing that death affected even those who had not sinned personally, such as infants, due to Adam's federal headship. It critiques the concept of an age of accountability and affirms that infants inherit original sin and die because of it, not personal sin. The speaker argues that salvation for infants is by divine mercy, election, and Christ's atonement, not innocence or multiple means of salvation. The sermon stresses the unity of salvation through Christ for all, regardless of age or knowledge of the Gospel.
