Wonderful preaching, the Lord is so kind to raise up teachers like this man. My hope is that in heaven, we will get to experience an expository of scripture from Christ Himself.
I'm just months out of Arminian theology and this sermon in a lot of ways was a double blessing to me. Because I still struggle with the preservation of the saints part of the Tulip even though I believe now in the first 4 parts This message has gave me alot of peace and I'm thankful for that Brother Thomas.
One analogy that helped me is the idea that He is there for us even in our struggles. He WILL bring us to be holy and blameless before Him on love. Asking whether it was me or Him is a human and limited view. Almost like asking whether it was me or my fingers that wrote this comment.
We need more than a little gospel comfort in our lives, but I take your point. We need a Savior, and we have a Savior. We can endure all things, in Jesus Christ our Lord, as we wait for the day when faith becomes sight.
Romans 5:6. A touchstone for remembering that we are dependent creatures, born into sin who need new life in Christ through faith. And God, who is rich in mercy, gives it to us!He first loved us, so we love.
