Common Grace: Foundations - An Overview of Systematic Theology with R.C. Sproul

Summary

This sermon introduces soteriology, the study of salvation, defining it as God's rescue from calamity, particularly from His wrath in judgment. It emphasizes that salvation is entirely by God's unmerited grace, contrasting it with justice or earned merit. The critical takeaway is to understand that God's favor is never owed, and the sermon begins to distinguish between common grace, given universally, and special grace, reserved for the redeemed.
