The preacher emphasizes that while the grace of God extends to all mankind, there are distinctions in the Bible regarding different types of grace.

Charles Finney addresses the doctrine of reprobation, emphasizing that God has made every effort to save the obstinate and impenitent people of Israel, yet they remain unyielding. He explains that reprobation is not due to God's malevolence but is a consequence of individuals' unwillingness to accept salvation on God's terms. Finney argues that reprobates are not lost because they are reprobated, but rather because they persist in their wickedness and reject God's grace. He concludes that the salvation of the reprobate hinges on their own choices, and that God's justice and benevolence are evident in the doctrine of reprobation, which ultimately serves the greater good of the universe.

John Gill addresses the complex theological concepts of divine rejection, focusing on the rejection of certain angels and men.

He warns of the dire consequences of being a 'castaway,' highlighting the mental agonies of hell, where the unrepentant will be eternally separated from God's presence, favor, and blessings. M'Cheyne illustrates that the wicked will face not only the absence of joy and comfort but also the torment of their own memories and conscience. He urges both believers to remain vigilant in their faith and the ungodly to turn to Christ before it is too late, reminding them of the love of Christ who bore the weight of being a castaway for their salvation.

He concludes by urging individuals to make their calling and election sure through self-examination and a sincere pursuit of truth.
