Children of Wrath

Summary

The sermon emphasizes God's unchanging sovereignty and the grace that saves believers through the finished work of Jesus Christ, not by human effort. It explains the spiritual condition of humanity as children of wrath, born into sin and under the influence of the devil, until born again by the Spirit of God. The preacher highlights the importance of understanding the new birth as a divine act that precedes faith and obedience, and encourages believers to make their calling and election sure by growing in faith and godly virtues. The message also stresses the assurance of salvation and the responsibility to serve God in gratitude for His grace.
