This revised sermon stresses that believers can know they are saved because eternal life rests entirely on Jesus’ finished work, not on human performance, with the law functioning only as a mirror that exposes sin and drives people to Christ. It explains how God secures assurance through multiple witnesses—the water and blood of Christ’s baptism and cross, the inner testimony of the Spirit, and the access granted by His blood—so that stumbling “sheep” who still fall into the ditch can be certain their sins are fully removed, counted righteous in Christ, and invited to draw near boldly to the Father without going through any religious system.
