The Expulsive Power of a New Affection

The Expulsive Power of a New Affection by Thomas Chalmers is a timeless sermon that explores the transformative power of God’s love in overcoming worldly attachments. Chalmers argues that the human heart cannot exist in a state of emptiness; it must love something. Therefore, the love of the world cannot be merely removed but must be replaced by a greater, more compelling affection—love for God. Through the gospel, believers are shown the beauty and grace of God, which captivates the heart and displaces lesser affections. This sermon highlights the centrality of faith, grace, and the gospel in effecting genuine moral and spiritual change, offering profound insights into human nature and the Christian life.
