Summary: A non-Calvanist's sermon on 1 Peter 1:1-2
Rom 10:11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”
Rom 10:12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him.
Rom 10:13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
• So there is the truth. We have a message, and you heard the preacher.
b. You must hear.
• Hearing in the Bible means understanding.
• Do you understand that Jesus is God in the flesh?
• Do you understand that HE came from heaven, lived a perfect life, but was crucified for your sins?
• Do you understand that if you believe in Him, you will be saved, gain eternal life, be adopted into His family, and can live according to His purpose?
• Do you understand that if you call upon Jesus, you will be saved?
• You have to understand these things.
c. You must believe.
• How can they believe if they have not heard, or understand.
• Do you understand the gospel?
• Do you believe it.
• Illustration, if time allows.
d. You must call.
• You must understand, believe, and ask.
• Have you ever asked to be saved.
• Have you asked Jesus to forgive your sins and be your savior?
• If you do, He will.
• Who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
