Continuing this series of Essential Truths, John MacArthur deals with the subject of “Election”. In this message he touches lightly on the doctrine itself as it is laid out in Scripture and defines “election” in its tremendous impact for us in our life. As sick and ruined sinners we see that it is only God’s unending mercy and grace that leads to the salvation of God’s chosen.
