How does God save a sinner?

The sermon illustrates that the gospel message is the power of God unto salvation (Romans 1:16). It is through the proclamation of this message that God draws sinners to Himself. The Holy Spirit works in the hearts of the elect, granting them faith to believe and repentance from sin. This divine work is entirely God's act; it is not based on human effort or free will but exclusively on God's grace and choice in saving those whom He has called. Thus, salvation is rooted in the sovereignty of God, who orchestrates every aspect of our redemption.
