This sermon explains that God's "steadfast love" is not an emotional feeling but divine, covenantal action — God's military conquest and fulfillment of promises through Christ. Your salvation and standing before God rest on Christ's accomplished righteousness, not your feelings or works.

It highlights the cross as both conquest and sacrifice, the legal/forensic nature of God’s mercy, and the sacraments and church as tangible assurance of the gospel in the believer's life.
