To Understand Salvation, First Understand Depravity

Summary

The sermon emphasizes the biblical doctrine of total depravity, explaining that fallen humanity is inherently sinful and incapable of coming to God without divine intervention. Salvation is solely by God's grace, as humans lack the will and ability to seek God on their own. The preacher highlights the necessity of being born again by the Spirit, as spiritual life and understanding come only through God's action. The message calls for recognition of human sinfulness and dependence on God's sovereign work for salvation.
