The Lens of Depravity

Summary

The sermon explains the doctrine of total depravity, emphasizing that humanity's nature was radically changed by the Fall, resulting in a state where all people are inherently sinful and incapable of seeking God or doing good without divine grace. Using biblical passages, the preacher illustrates that this depravity clarifies the pervasive wickedness in the world and underscores the necessity of salvation by grace through faith. The message challenges common Christian views that humans can choose salvation on their own, highlighting the hopelessness of man apart from God's intervention.
