Why Are His Garments Red?

In Isaiah 63 the prophet asks a sobering question about the victorious figure introduced in the opening verse: “Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?” In this episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett continues this message by focusing on the work of the One who is mighty to save.

The imagery of the winepress presents a vivid picture of judgment, as well as the reality that Christ accomplished redemption by His own power. This passage declares that He trod the winepress alone, with none to help, securing salvation for His people while also bringing judgment upon His enemies.

Mighty To Save

In Isaiah 63 the prophet asks a striking question. “Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah… this that is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength?” The answer comes with authority: “I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.” In this episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett begins a study of this powerful passage and introduces the identity of the conquering figure Isaiah saw.

This message focuses on the opening verse of the passage and the declaration that the Messiah is mighty to save. While Isaiah 53 shows Christ as the suffering servant who bore the sins of his people, Isaiah 63 reveals him as the victorious Redeemer who comes in strength to deliver his people and judge their enemies.

Grace ‘Tis a Charming Sound

In this week’s episode of Words of Grace, Benjamin Winslett brings a classic hymn title to life in his message, “Grace, ’Tis a Charming Sound.” Human nature tells us that we get what we deserve. But, Scripture paints a very different picture of how sinners are saved. From Romans 3 to Ephesians 2, Pastor Winslett explains that salvation cannot come by human effort. Instead, the undeniable message of the gospel is that we are saved by grace alone—unmerited favor from a sovereign God.

Listen now and be refreshed by the sweet sound of God’s sovereign grace!

From Preservation to Glorification, Sovereign Grace Episode 7

Today on Words of Grace, we present the concluding message in our series on Sovereign Grace, focusing on the certainty of final salvation for God’s chosen people. Throughout this series, we’ve explored foundational concepts like total depravity, God’s sovereign choice, Christ’s atoning work, and the Holy Spirit’s role in the new birth. Today, we emphasize the assurance that those predestined, called, and justified by God will ultimately be glorified, as highlighted in Romans 8 and also in John’s gospel.

Additionally, we draw from passages in 1 Corinthians, Philippians, and 1 Thessalonians to underscore the fact that our final salvation is guaranteed by God’s faithfulness. Despite our flaws, God will confirm and preserve us until the end. Ephesians 1 and Romans 8 further affirm our predestination to be adopted and conformed to Christ’s image, ensuring that nothing can separate us from God’s love.
