the divine intention, of sufficient value to redeem all. (2) A description of the condition attached, that is, of the real nature of the repentance and faith that is required in the sinner that comes to Christ, including a clear indication of the fact that these are the fruit of the work of the Holy Spirit. (3) A declaration that each one who comes to Christ with true faith and repentance will obtain the blessings of the forgiveness of sins and of eternal life.
The preacher need not harmonize the secret counsel of God with His revealed will.
It is not the duty of the preacher to harmonize the secret counsel of God respecting the redemption of sinners with His declarative will, as it is expressed in the universal offer of salvation. He is an official ambassador, whose duty it is to carry out the will of his Lord in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. His warrant does not lie in the secret counsel of God, but in His revealed will, and more particularly in the great commission. If in the army of God his marching orders are clear, as they are, he has no right to disobey, just because he does not quite understand how the little part which he must play fits in with the great plan of the Lord who sent him, "the captain of our salvation."
