The New Testament shows us the mystery meanings of the Old Testament, all of which are brought about in New Testament times and all of which point to Christ. Just as there was a small remnant that returned from Babylon (Isaiah 10:20-23), Isaiah is also pointing to the remnant from Jews and Gentiles who are saved only by God's merciful election.

The Morning Devotional Season 11 | Edition 65 Psalm 97 Providence Presbyterian Church Evansville, IN Pastor's Website: https://theparchment.net/ The sermon explores Psalm 97 to highlight the absolute sovereignty and majestic reign of God over all creation. It contrasts the true God with false idols, emphasizing that general revelation displays His glory to everyone while special revelation calls the redeemed to specific worship. The text draws parallels between the psalm's imagery and the Sinai narrative, illustrating God's power and justice. Believers are urged to hate evil and rejoice in the Lord, recognizing Christ as the ultimate fulfillment of this divine kingship. The central message encourages a life of worship and obedience to the King who reigns supreme.

How can an infant—devoid of cognitive reasoning, language, or the ability to process the preached Gospel—be born again? Across centuries of church history, Puritans, Particular Baptists, and Reformed giants like Charles Spurgeon, John Gill, Charles Hodge, and B.B. Warfield wrestled with this profound theological enigma. Rejecting both the error of baptismal regeneration by infant baptism, and the myth of natural innocence, these theologians pointed to something far more awe-inspiring: a sovereign, unmediated work of the Holy Spirit who transforms the soul beyond the reach of human intellect. Join us in this episode as we journey through the 1689 London Baptist Confession, historical debates, and the mechanics of divine grace to discover how God secretly regenerates the most vulnerable among us, proving that salvation is, from first to last, entirely of the Lord.
