In Greg Elmquist's sermon titled "Precious Things - Part 2," the central theological topic revolves around the preciousness of Christ and the redemptive work of His blood as articulated in 1 Peter 1:19. Elmquist argues that believers should recognize and value what God deems precious, focusing on three key elements: faith, promises, and the blood of Christ. He references Scripture, particularly 1 Peter 1:18-19, emphasizing that believers were not redeemed with perishable commodities like silver and gold but through the costly and invaluable blood of Christ, the Lamb without blemish. He underscores the practical significance of these truths, emphasizing that true assurance of salvation comes not from self-examination but from trusting in the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice.
“May God give us the grace to consider precious what he considers precious and to look to that which he's looking to.”
“What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.”
“To you that believe, he is precious. Not the idea of him, not the thought of him, not truths about him, but he himself.”
“The more we look for assurance of our salvation in anything other than the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, the less sure we will be.”
