Paul's Doctrine of Salvation

Summary

The sermon explores Paul's doctrine of salvation as presented in Titus 3:3-7, emphasizing salvation as a gift of God's mercy, not earned by works. It distinguishes between ultimate salvation—rescue from eternal punishment—and temporal salvation—deliverance from present dangers. The preacher highlights the total depravity of mankind, explaining that humans are naturally sinful, with depraved minds, wills, and understandings, incapable of saving themselves. Salvation is solely God's work, granting new spiritual life and enabling faith and obedience.
