Little By Little, 1 John 5:21

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that God's work in believers' lives often occurs gradually, 'little by little,' rather than instantaneously. It highlights that spiritual growth and understanding come in stages, as God teaches through repetition and according to each person's capacity. The preacher warns against the misconception that all God's elect will immediately and fully understand and obey the gospel upon regeneration. Biblical examples such as the gradual conquest of Canaan and the apostles' learning process illustrate this principle.
