The Basics: Called | 2-18-18

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the doctrine of God's sovereign grace in salvation, focusing on the concept of being called by God. It explains that humans are totally depraved and cannot come to God on their own, so God initiates salvation by calling and quickening the spiritually dead. The new birth is described as a divine act of creation and transformation, illustrated by biblical examples such as John the Baptist, David, Paul, and the thief on the cross. The message encourages believers to recognize and praise God's mercy and grace in their salvation.
