Dawson Springs Article 05

Summary

The sermon expounds on the fifth article of faith, emphasizing man's total inability to recover himself from his fallen state by his own free will or ability. It highlights the biblical teaching that all humanity inherits sin and condemnation from Adam, making every person naturally sinful and powerless to achieve righteousness. The preacher underscores the comprehensive nature of sin, including sins of commission, omission, and internal sins of the heart, and stresses that only through God's intervention can one be saved. The message calls for recognition of human impotence and the necessity of divine grace for salvation.
