Sermon: Can You Really Accept Jesus?

Summary

The sermon addresses the question of whether a person can truly accept Jesus, distinguishing between regeneration (being born again by God's action) and conversion (the daily conscious decision to follow and obey Jesus). It emphasizes that spiritual life is a gift from God, not a result of human decision, and that faith is given by God enabling one to believe and repent. The preacher uses biblical examples and illustrations to show that before regeneration, a person is spiritually dead and unable to choose God, but after receiving new life, they must respond by following Christ wholeheartedly. The message calls listeners to examine their spiritual state, repent, and commit to following Jesus despite challenges or distractions.
