You Must Be Born Again
Summary
The sermon emphasizes that salvation is solely a work of God, not earned by human righteousness, as exemplified by Jesus calling sinners like Matthew. It warns against the distraction of false religious practices that offer an illusion of knowing God, urging believers to focus on proclaiming the true gospel of God saving sinners, especially those who are irreligious and acknowledge their sin. The practical takeaway is to boldly preach the pure gospel, understanding that God saves those who recognize their need for Him, not those who rely on their own religious merit.
