How Can a Dead Person Believe? | Getting the Gospel Right | Relentless
If Scripture teaches that we are dead in our trespasses and sins, how can a spiritually dead sinner come to faith in Jesus Christ?
In this episode of Relentless Truth, John Warren examines the convicting ministry of the Holy Spirit described by Jesus in John 16. We consider God's sovereignty, man's volition, repentance and faith, and the broad offer of salvation to the world.
Through the ministry of the Word of God, by the power of the Holy Spirit, dead sinners are brought under conviction. The new birth is entirely the work of the Holy Spirit, but Scripture also makes clear that we must respond to the gospel in repentance and faith.
We examine John 16:8, John 3:16, 1 Timothy 2:1–6, 2 Peter 3:9, and Romans, along with an interesting observation from John Calvin concerning the Spirit's convicting ministry.
What will you do with this Savior? What will you do with your sin and your guilt?
You are loved by God. You are not excluded. This offer of salvation is for you.
