Cause & Effect

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the fundamental law of cause and effect, illustrating that spiritual life and salvation are caused by God's action, not by human faith or works. The preacher argues that faith, repentance, and good works are effects of being born again by the Spirit of God, not causes. Biblical passages are used to show that God is the first cause of salvation and that belief follows the new birth. The sermon challenges common misconceptions about salvation and stresses reliance on Scripture rather than human opinion.
