This sermon teaches that the gospel has two very different effects—it can bring life or bring death. To those who accept and believe, it gives joy, peace, and eternal life; but to those who reject or twist it, it becomes a source of judgment and greater guilt. The message reminds believers to share God’s Word faithfully, knowing that their job is to preach truth—not to control the results—and that doing so is a serious and holy responsibility.
A sermon delivered by Charles Spurgeon on May 27, 1855.
