Westminster Larger Catechism - Questions 66-68
from Arminianism on SermonAudio Hosted by Taylor Bradley
This sermon explores the doctrines of union with Christ and effectual calling as defined in the Larger Catechism, emphasizing that this union is a sovereign work of God's grace rather than a human achievement. The teaching outlines four attributes of this union—spiritual, mystical, real, and inseparable—using biblical metaphors of Christ as head and husband to illustrate the believer's connection to Him. It further distinguishes between the general outward call of the gospel and the inward, efficacious call that overcomes human depravity. By examining the monergistic nature of this divine work, the sermon safeguards the doctrine against both Arminianism and Hyper-Calvinism, affirming that God uses the means of the Word to draw the elect to faith. The overall tone is instructional and pastoral, aiming to strengthen the congregation's assurance and understanding of their secure position in Christ.
