Calvinism on SermonAudio

"But to him who does not work, but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness." (Romans 4:5, NKJV)

This sermon explores the doctrine of definite atonement by examining the imagery of the shepherd and sheep in John 10. It argues that Christ's death was not merely a potential offer for all humanity but a specific, effective act to secure the salvation of those the Father gave to Him. The teaching highlights three key concepts from the text: the Father giving a specific people to the Son, the Son's intimate knowledge of His own, and the definite outcome of eternal life for the sheep. By contrasting this view with Arminianism, which suggests salvation is possible for all but actual for none, the sermon emphasizes the sovereignty of God and the sufficiency of Christ's work. Ultimately, the message offers believers profound comfort and security, asserting that their redemption is fully secured by Christ's finished work on the cross, independent of their own ongoing efforts or feelings.

Pastor Mock distills the essence, and liberally quotes from Calvin, on Calvin's treatise arguing for the cause of the Reformation.

Series: Heritage Day Series - John Calvin Subject: Calvin "Arrested" in Geneva

The sermon presents a comprehensive refutation of Calvinism, arguing that its core tenets contradict the character of God, the clarity of Scripture, and the reality of human free will. The speaker challenges the doctrine of unconditional election and limited atonement by citing numerous biblical passages that affirm God's universal love and the availability of salvation to all people. By contrasting the Calvinist view of total depravity and irresistible grace with the biblical order of hearing, repentance, and faith, the lecture asserts that salvation is a result of human response rather than divine coercion. The tone is instructional and convicting, aiming to equip believers to identify and reject what is described as a deceitful theological system that undermines the sovereignty of God as revealed in the Bible.
