Ephesians 1꞉11-12 | According to the Counsel of His Own Will

The sermon examines Ephesians 1:11-14 to clarify the relationship between divine predestination and human free will, specifically refuting Calvinist determinism. It argues that God's work applies exclusively to those who freely trust in Christ, emphasizing that salvation is a choice rather than a forced decree. The speaker highlights the Holy Spirit as a seal guaranteeing eternal security until the final redemption of the believer. By contrasting biblical truth with philosophical fatalism, the message assures listeners that their inheritance is secure and guaranteed by God's wisdom, not blind fate. This assurance provides comfort and confidence for living a faithful Christian life amidst the uncertainties of the world.
