The Book of Romans, Part 48: The Difference Between A “Gift” and An “Offer”

Summary

Pastor Chris McCoo explains the difference between a gift and an offer in the context of salvation, emphasizing that salvation is a completed gift from God, not dependent on human acceptance. He discusses predestination, election, and the believer's position in Christ, clarifying common scriptural misunderstandings about accepting Jesus. The sermon highlights that salvation is by God's sovereign grace, not by human works or decisions, and that believers are made accepted in the beloved through grace. The message concludes with encouragement to live as a living sacrifice in response to God's gift of grace.
