For Whom Did Christ Die? PS 130:7, 1989

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the doctrine of particular redemption, asserting that Christ died specifically for a chosen people and effectively saved all for whom He died. It contrasts this with modern theology that claims Christ died for everyone but requires human action to actualize salvation. The preacher highlights key biblical passages, especially Isaiah 53 and John 10, to support the belief that salvation is certain and limited to the elect, chosen before the foundation of the world. The sermon also explains the significance of the name Jesus as 'Jehovah is salvation' and stresses the sovereignty and faithfulness of God's redemptive work.
