How do we know that God cares for His people according to the sermon?
Answered in 1 source
The sermon emphasizes that God's care for His people is evident through His actions and provisions, notably shown by Saul's deliverance of Jabesh Gilead.
God's care for His people is illustrated throughout the sermon by the way He raised Saul to be a leader who was filled with the Spirit and moved by anger at the plight of his people. Saul's willingness to act on behalf of Jabesh Gilead demonstrates God's compassion and sovereignty. As Saul triumphed over the Ammonites, it reinforced the idea that God not only appoints leaders but also equips them to fulfill their purposes for the welfare of His people. This reflects the historic Reformed belief that God's providence and grace undergird the lives of believers, ensuring they receive the protection and guidance they need in times of difficulty.
