Delivered for Envy

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that salvation is entirely the work of God by grace through faith, not by human effort or works. It highlights the distinction between being born again as God's children and discipleship, which involves active participation. The preacher discusses the rejection of Jesus by the Jews out of envy and the necessity of being born of the Spirit to truly understand and believe the gospel. The message encourages believers to rest in Christ's finished work and to seek deliverance from the present evil world while living in the assurance of God's sovereign grace.
