Listen "Coming to the Lord for life"
Episode Synopsis
And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. (John 5:40) *1/ The source of spiritual life - John 5:26 & Psalm 21:4. 2/ The one to come to for life - Jesus - John 5:40. 3/ The means and evidence of life - believing - John 20:31* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on the indispensable necessity of coming to Jesus Christ for spiritual life, emphasizing that humanity is inherently dead in sin and incapable of regenerating itself, a truth rooted in the doctrine of total depravity. It affirms that the source of spiritual life is none other than God the Father and the Son, who alone possess the power to quicken the dead, as demonstrated in Christ's resurrection and His divine authority to grant eternal life. The only proper response to this reality is faith in Christ, which is both the means and the evidence of life—believing in Him, hearing His Word, and coming to Him in prayer, worship, and the gathered assembly, where His presence is promised. The sermon underscores that salvation is not a human achievement but a divine work, initiated by God, sustained by faith, and evidenced by a transformed life that bears witness to the reality of new birth. Ultimately, it calls believers to continually return to Christ, especially in seasons of spiritual dryness, trusting that He alone is the fountain of life, and that in believing, they have eternal life now and forever.
