Why Can't People Save Themselves By Simply Choosing God? | April 21
What does the Bible teach about the human will after the Fall? In this episode of Strength for Today, Pastor John Blevins of Christ Church Presbyterian in Knoxville, TN, unpacks 1 Corinthians 2:14 and Westminster Confession of Faith 9.3 to show that fallen man is completely unable to choose spiritual good apart from divine grace.
You'll discover why the natural person cannot receive or understand the things of God and why true salvation is never the result of mere human decision but always the result of God's sovereign work. This episode will help you better understand total depravity, the necessity of regeneration, and the wonder of God's saving grace.
