Total Depravity

Summary

The sermon on total depravity explains the biblical doctrine that all humans are inherently sinful and corrupt from birth due to original sin, as represented by Adam. It emphasizes that this corruption affects the whole person and is impossible to self-correct, requiring divine intervention through Jesus Christ for salvation. The preacher highlights the pervasive nature of sin, the deceitfulness of the human heart, and the ruined relationship with God and others, concluding that salvation must be initiated and applied by God alone. Understanding total depravity is essential to appreciating the glory and necessity of salvation.
