In "Storm Warning #69," various speakers deliver a unified message emphasizing the gracious hope of salvation through Jesus Christ. The sermon articulates that this hope is grounded in God's sovereign grace, supported through Scripture, such as 2 Thessalonians 2:16, which highlights hope through grace, and Isaiah 45:22, calling sinners to look to God for salvation. Additionally, the role of faith is clarified, distinguishing it not as a condition for justification but as an assurance granted by the Holy Spirit of one's union with Christ. The practical significance of this message cultivates a deep sense of urgency for individuals to seek Christ, emphasizing that salvation is both a present reality and a future promise for the elect, encapsulating core Reformed doctrines such as total depravity, irresistible grace, and perseverance of the saints.
“A good hope of eternal life... must be, and indeed be through grace, grace that lays the foundation of it, grace that gives the assurance of it, and grace that makes the assurance abiding and unchangeable.”
“Faith is... not a condition upon which... we receive this benefit, but it is the acceptance itself of Christ and all his benefits as he presents himself to us through word and spirit.”
“It is imperative that you flee to Christ Jesus today, not tomorrow, for none of us are promised another day on this planet.”
“By the grace of God, I believe the gospel of God's sovereign grace, and have seen a believer, have been a believer for many years, but still remain in myself a helpless sinner.”
