About this sermon

The sermon explores the Reformed theological understanding of free will by examining the fourfold state of man: innocency, sin, grace, and glory. It argues that while human will is intrinsically free to choose according to one's nature, the fall into sin renders humanity unable to will spiritual good without divine intervention. The central message emphasizes that salvation is entirely God's work, translating believers from the bondage of sin into the state of grace, where they are enabled to do good yet still struggle with remaining corruption. This progression culminates in the state of glory, where the will is perfectly and immutably free to do good alone. The tone is instructional and pastoral, aiming to provide assurance through the certainty of God's sovereign work in the believer's life.
