Total Depravity

Summary

The sermon on total depravity emphasizes that all humans are inherently sinful and incapable of doing good apart from God's grace. It stresses that this depravity affects every aspect of human nature—mind, will, and emotions—and persists even after regeneration. The preacher highlights biblical examples like Adam, David, Peter, and Abraham to illustrate human weakness and the need for continual humility, thankfulness, and caution. The doctrine underscores that salvation is entirely by God's grace, as dead men in sin can do nothing to save themselves.
