Sermon Overview
This message outlines the "Golden Chain" of salvation. Reidhead emphasizes that the "Plan" is entirely God's initiative, designed to exclude all human boasting. He shows how "Grace" provides the calling, the justification, the sanctification, and the final preservation of the soul, ensuring that "He who began a good work will perform it."
Key Principles
Pre-temporal Origin:Rest in the fact that your salvation was a "Sovereign Initiative" planned before time began.
Exclusion of Boast:Reject all "human merit"; realize that every stage of your walk is a gift of unmerited favor.
Redemptive Purchase:View the Cross as the "legal payment" that secured the entire plan for your soul.
Grace as Teacher: Use Titus 2 to let Grace "instruct" you in the specific art of denying worldly lusts.
Perseverance of God:Rely on the "Perseverance of God" within you rather than your own "holding on" to Him.
Excluding Merit: Guard your heart against "spiritual pride"; realize your growth is entirely a product of Grace.
Daily Abundance:Appropriately "take" the daily grace required to reign over your specific circumstances.
Goal: Praise of Glory:Ensure that every victory results in the "Praise of His Glory" rather than your own status.
