Praise God for His grace in Christ, that while we were yet sinners God sent His Son into the world to save us.

I grew UP in a presbyterian/reformed theological tradition in the Philippines. I always believed/believe in divine election even if I did not understand it the way I understand it now. Many of my friends and acquaintances do not believe in it and do not even want to hear and discuss about it. I Thank Dr. Ferguson for this clear and pastoral and loving sermon on this very important doctrine of election. I call it a major doctrine because it affects the way I live and grow as a Christian.

I praise God with such delight in my heart for this Biblical truth and for such a precious godly humble pastor Sinclair Ferguson preaching the whole counsel of God a pure proclamation of the gospel. To God be the glory!

[hollayevladimiroff]

Beautiful, Glory to God! Thank you Sinclaire Ferguson.

[eileendunkley]

You cannot be under the teaching of this Pastor, and leave without understanding what he is saying. Excellent expositor !

[hutchieboy]

It is impossible to listen to this Pastor/Teacher and not be built up in your faith and have your practice impacted.

[joeiiiful]

The best preacher and theologian of at least the last 50 years.

[irenekretzmann]

Now I understand and love the doctrine of election. At last.

I think I have to agree with another commenter in this thread, that Dr. Sinclair may be greatest preacher and theologian of at least the last 50 years. We are and have been blessed with a goodly number of God-honoring teachers and preachers who maintain profound fidelity to the Holy Scriptures and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I think of Dr. John MacArthur; Alistair Begg; R.C. Sproul; Steve Lawson; and other great teachers and preachers of the Reformed faith. The quality of Dr. Sinclair's scholarship is unexcelled and compelling. What set's him apart for me is that no matter how hard the doctrine or message may be; no mater how consequential the ramifications in the lives of believers and non-believers, he always communicates his deep concern for and love for both. Even when speaking of such horrifying topics as damnation and hell, his deep heart of compassion and concern always comes through. Surely he is among the greatest teachers and preachers of the last 400 years. He never fails to illuminate and bless me through his work and service to Christ.

I am lost for words. I thank God for giving us Pastors like Reverend Ferguson. What a wonderful man of God

[wally]

Here is one preacher, some longer time ago, that I have put down on my list of preachers to always listen to. In ways he reminds me, in mannerisms for one thing, of Martin Lloyd -jones...so clearly and gently putting forth the scriptures.

[Bekesam]

Thank you for posting. Beautiful message.

[jody]

THIS is one of the best, most comprehensive explainations of election! THIS ANSWERS SO MUCH THAT I HAVE HAD QUESTIONS AND WORDS FOR!
THANK YOU BROTHER! 👍

[Izthefaithful]

I will tel you it’s because people are afraid. They are afraid that they are actually not in control of everything and it scares most people half to death

Ferguson is both brilliant and elegant in this word

[carlysmith_.]

Thank the Lord for true men of God like Sinclair Ferguson, blessed with the ability to bring so much from the scriptures in such a simple way.

[elizabethhartley]

Thank you love your preaching glory to our Lord

[shellybendijo]

Thank you Dr Sinclair! Your preaching hits me every time. Much love from the Philippines

[PedroHLima]

I thank my Father who brought me here to listen to this sermon! How deeply edifying this was, the Holy Spirit really guided and used such a faithful exposition of the Word.
May God bless the owner of this channel who posted this, and our dear brother Sinclair Ferguson, and we all who are being edified. God indeed loves us, we may trust Him!

[eileendunkley]

Helping us to understand how God sees us. What a wonderful God. My God. Our God. . Yes He gave us his son.

[GEORGESTRONG]

My heart is overflowing in gratitude toward God. The bible says: "Who is man that thou (God) art mindful of him" If after listening to this message you are considering giving it your thumbs down, then I would encourage you to stop and prayerfully contemplate your motivation and relationship with God., and make a commitment to serve such a great and gracious Heavenly Father.
