Whosoever Will

Acts 16:31; Ephesians 2:8 The sermon presents a robust defense of divine sovereignty intertwined with human responsibility, arguing that God's predestination and mercy are not incompatible with genuine human choice. Centered on Scripture from Romans 9, Deuteronomy 30, and the Gospels, it emphasizes that God's grace is universally offered through the 'if' of Scripture—inviting all to believe, repent, and choose life—rather than being limited to a predetermined few. The preacher refutes a rigid Calvinist interpretation of election by highlighting God's repeated appeals to humanity, such as in Joshua 24:15 and Deuteronomy's call to 'choose life,' underscoring that divine foreknowledge does not negate free will. It affirms that salvation is by grace through faith, not of works, yet insists that faith is a real, responsive act made possible only through God's mercy and revelation. Ultimately, the message calls believers to a life of continual surrender, recognizing that God's mercy is extended to all, and that the invitation to salvation remains open until the final moment, with the assurance that God desires no one to perish but all to come to repentance.
