In "Storm Warning #81," the primary theological topic revolves around the assurance of salvation through the atoning work of Jesus Christ and the role of the Holy Spirit in sealing believers. The sermon emphasizes that believers, despite facing tribulations and doubts, are comforted by God's promises, specifically through the sealing of the Spirit which guarantees their salvation. Key Scripture references include Hebrews 4:16, which invites believers to approach God for grace, and Ephesians 1:13-14, affirming the sealing by the Holy Spirit as a deposit guaranteeing their inheritance. The practical significance lies in urging believers to take refuge in Christ while exhorting them to live in the Spirit, shunning sin and encouraging a life reflective of their sealed status. The sermon ultimately stresses the urgency of salvation, calling listeners to respond to Christ with immediate faith and repentance.
“It is imperative that you flee to Christ Jesus today, not tomorrow, for none of us are promised another day on this planet. Today is the day of salvation.”
“If all believers are not sealed, it is absurd to exhort them, as the scripture says, grieve not the spirit whereby ye are sealed.”
“Are we thus sealed by the Spirit? Then let our souls adore His eternal power and Godhead and praise Him for His work in us.”
“If we complained less and praised more, we should be happier, and God would be more glorified.”
