The Servant of God

The sermon explores the identity of the believer as a servant of God, emphasizing that this role entails total submission to God's will rather than self-directed living. It clarifies the theological distinction between the apostolic foundation laid by Paul and the subsequent building of the church, asserting that Jesus Christ is the sole foundation upon which all Christian works must stand. The central theological argument focuses on the promise of eternal life, which was granted to the man Christ Jesus before the foundation of the world, enabling Him to offer this life to humanity through His obedient sacrifice. The message rejects the notion of predestination in favor of free will, urging listeners to acknowledge the truth of the Gospel and accept the available gift of salvation. The tone is pastoral and urgent, calling the congregation to wake up to their spiritual responsibilities and to rely on God's power for daily witness and obedience.
