Teaching Sermons For Pastors and Laymen

Teaching Sermons For Pastors and Laymen

Some preachers are better than others, but none of them can preach a better gospel.  The origin of salvation is found in today’s text: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God” ( Eph. 2:8 (KJV). We can be saved only because God is willing to save us.  And He was willing to give His only begotten Son to save us, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16 (KJV).  It’s God’s love for us, not our love for Him, which saves us.  We have seen that God’s grace is the source of our salvation, but I want to add that the means of salvation is “through faith.”  But Paul also added, “and not of yourselves.”  Salvation cannot come from anything we do, because of the weakness and inability of human nature.
