Core Theology-Depravity, Holy Spirit Conviction, and Blood Redemption
Sunday Nov 03, 2024
Sunday Nov 03, 2024
In this enlightening episode, we dive into "Core Theology Part Two," exploring the profound themes of Depravity, Holy Spirit Conviction, and Blood Redemption. Building on our previous discussion about the sovereignty of God, we tackle the essential question: What does it mean to be saved?
We begin by examining the concept of human depravity as outlined in scripture, recognizing our inability to seek God on our own. Through the writings of the Apostle Paul, we understand that no one is righteous and all have turned away from God. This sets the stage for the transformative work of the Holy Spirit, who convicts and regenerates our hearts, enabling us to respond to God's call.
Further, we address the theological shift that occurred in the early 1900s, challenging the notion that man can initiate his salvation. Instead, we highlight the scriptural truth that God, through the Holy Spirit, draws us to Himself, granting us a new heart that desires Him.
We also confront the misconception that one can lose salvation or decide to be saved at any time. With biblical references, we assure listeners of the security found in Christ and emphasize that genuine salvation leads to a life of sanctification and personal holiness.
This episode concludes with a reflection on the necessity of blood redemption, the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus, and the importance of responding to God's call. Join us as we seek to deepen our understanding of salvation and live a life that reflects the transformative power of the gospel.
