What we are like by nature:
Back to the book!
a. Dead in sin
b. Enemies of God
c. Blind to spiritual truth
2. Therefore we cannot
by our own thinking or
choosing come to believe
in Jesus as our Savior.
2. How saving faith comes:
a. It is the gift from God
Eph 2:8,9 It is by grace you have been saved through faith- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not by works, so that no man can boast.
Rom 10:17 (p. 112) says:B. Through the message about Christ (the gospel).
4. The one…this work…. is
the Holy Spirit
Go and Tell!
“Faith comes from hearing the message and the message is heard through the word of (about) Christ.”
Gospel in Word
Gospel in Sacrament
3. Work of the Holy Spirit
1. The Holy Spirit calls me that is he
brings me to trust in Jesus as my Savior by the gospel.
2 Thess 2:14 1043)
Conversion (being turned around)
Regeneration (being born again)
2. The Holy Spirit enlightens me that is, he leads me to spiritual understanding
through the Gospel.

3. The Holy Spirit sanctifies me that is, he sets me apart for holy living through the
Gospel.
John 3 ~ 3) I tell you the truth, unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 7)
You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ 8) So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.

What about “Decision
Theology”?
Billy Graham
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.” Jn 6:44
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.” Jn 6:44
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.” Jn 6:44
God draws us to himself thru faith!
4. The Holy Spirit keeps me in the faith through the gospel.
