Grace does not merely invite; it transforms. Philippians 2:12–13 calls us to work out our salvation not in fear of losing it, but in confidence that God Himself is working within us. Obedience flows from new affections shaped by regeneration—our action is real, yet wholly powered by divine grace.

For Whom Does Christ Pray? (John 17:4, 9, 20-21; COD 2)
This sermon explores the doctrine of limited atonement through John 17, showing that Christ’s death is not a vague, potential redemption but a finished work for a particular people the Father has given Him. Rather than fueling elitism, this truth humbles believers: faith does not save us; Christ saves. Faith is the Spirit’s gift that compels us to cling to Him to receive all Christ’s distinct benefits. Christ’s high priestly prayer reveals His heart. Christ prays for his people. Christ desires eternal fellowship with the people that God has given to Christ. This does not make us complacent, but we live in the confidence that Christ’s work will complete his intended result.
