In this sermon, our study picks up Paul’s logical argument in his defense of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Gospel of Grace. In this passage, Paul seeks to prove beyond a shadow of doubt that salvation comes only by His grace. Warren Wiersbe states, “Our faith is a logical faith and can be defended on rational grounds. While there are divine mysteries in the faith that no man can fully explain, there are also divine reasons that any sincere person can understand.”
Paul, the master apologist, anticipates the attacks of the enemies of the Gospel and, in this section, refutes their argument before they even make it.
