Human Inability (Total Depravity of Man)

In this sermon, Charles Spurgeon explains that no person can choose to follow Jesus on their own, because sin has so deeply damaged human nature that our minds, wills, and hearts naturally reject God. Just like a wolf cannot simply decide to act like a sheep, a person cannot simply decide to come to Christ without God's Holy Spirit first working in their heart to change them. This is actually good news, because if you feel drawn toward God and aware of your sin, that is evidence that God is already at work in you and has loved you from the very beginning.Sermon delivered on March 7, 1858.
