Man's Deficiency: Ability and Motive

Summary

The sermon emphasizes humanity's total depravity, highlighting that fallen, unregenerate man lacks both the ability and the motive to please God or pursue spiritual matters. It refutes views that suggest man retains some inherent ability to do good spiritually, asserting that salvation is entirely dependent on God's grace. The preacher uses biblical passages to illustrate that man is spiritually dead and incapable of initiating salvation on his own.
