God is pleased to save sinners through the work of Christ and the preaching of the Gospel, as His divine Will unfolds.
In His immeasurable grace, God has ordained a means for the salvation of sinners. This is articulated in passages such as Isaiah 53:10, which declares, 'It pleased the Lord to bruise Him,' referring to Jesus Christ’s sacrifice for our sins. Additionally, 1 Corinthians 1:21 states that 'it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.' These verses illustrate that God's plan for redemption was both intentional and joyous to Him, showcasing His desire that sinners be reconciled to Him through the atoning work of Christ. By understanding this, believers can appreciate the depth of God's love and the lengths He has gone to ensure salvation for His chosen ones.
