Cause and Effect

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the fundamental law of cause and effect as it applies to both everyday life and spiritual matters. It argues that faith, baptism, and good works are effects of spiritual life, not causes, with God as the first cause of salvation and new birth. The preacher supports this by referencing scripture to show that belief and faith follow the new birth, which is caused by God's power. The message challenges common misconceptions about salvation and stresses reliance on biblical truth rather than human opinion.
