Free Grace vs Free Will, 02/21/99

Summary

The sermon contrasts salvation by free grace with salvation by free will, emphasizing that salvation is entirely a work of God's grace, not dependent on human effort or decision. It highlights the depraved condition of man, the sovereign love of God, and the completed work of Christ as foundational to understanding salvation. The preacher argues that God's will is ultimately effective and that regeneration is an instantaneous work of God, not a gradual human process. Biblical passages such as Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 5, John 6, and Romans 8 are used to support these points.
