Man: Sin-Death

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the spiritual condition of fallen humanity, asserting that unsaved man is spiritually dead and incapable of responding to God's light or altering his sinful state. It critiques religious views that suggest man can participate in his own salvation, affirming that only God can change man's nature through the new birth. The preacher highlights the total depravity of man, meaning all faculties, including the will, are corrupted by sin. Salvation is presented as a transformation of nature, not merely a change of mind or decision.
