Salvation is a work of God's grace through the Spirit, who gives faith to those for whom Christ died.
Scripture affirms that salvation is entirely a work of grace, not dependent upon human effort. Ephesians 2:8-9 states that we are saved by grace through faith, which is itself a gift from God. This grace is directed toward those whom God has chosen, leading to the impartation of faith—a mysterious yet profound act of the Holy Spirit. In the sermon, it's emphasized that while we cannot fully understand how the Spirit works, we trust that He applies God's Word to believers' hearts, granting them the ability to believe and receive the promises of Christ. This underscores the sovereignty of God in salvation and reaffirms that our faith is rooted in His grace rather than our meritorious works.
