Charles Stanley - My Assurance, God Is in Control - Part 4

God allows us the choice to follow or ignore Him. But that doesn't mean He gives up and lets us wander aimlessly through life. Dr. Stanley unfolds how God is the One who calls us, enlightens us, and gives us the faith to trust in Him.

God chose His people before the world began, yet Scripture tells us that the gospel is for everyone. In today’s sermon, Dr. Stanley examines this paradox and helps us come to terms with the Lord’s omniscience and mysterious love.

How can Acts 2:21 (“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved”) be reconciled with Ephesians 1:4 (“He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world”)? Why should we preach the gospel if God has seemingly already chosen those who would be saved?
