The Westminster Confession

Christ’s Saving Work Applied

John 6:35-40

About this sermon

This sermon examines Westminster Confession of Faith 8.7 and 8.8 to articulate the certainty of Christ's mediation and the effectual application of redemption to His elect. It addresses the theological tension of the hypostatic union, explaining how Christ acts according to both His divine and human natures while remaining one person. The central focus is on the doctrine of limited atonement, arguing against universalism by asserting that Christ purchased redemption specifically for those given to Him by the Father. The message emphasizes that salvation is not merely a possibility but a surety, as Christ intercedes for, reveals, and governs His people through the Word and Spirit. This doctrine provides profound assurance to believers, confirming that God's purpose to save His chosen is unsearchable yet certain.
