Nothing you can do to be saved?

Check out our evening sermon on May 15th at 6 PM: "I won't come to Christ because... There's nothing I can do to be saved."

Some people, when exposed to the doctrine of God's Sovereignty in salvation, turn this into an excuse for continued unbelief. They say to themselves, "If I am meant to become a Christian, God will make me one. There is nothing I can do about it!" Therefore, they do nothing, but continue in a path of disobedience and unbelief. We will see that such an approach is highly presumptuous and effectively puts God to the test. While it is certainly true that God alone decides whom He will save and whom He will leave to receive the just punishment for their sin, we must not overlook all the commands of Scripture that tell us we are to strive to enter God's Kingdom, we are to ask, to seek, to knock, we are not to give up until God grants us admission to the company of His people. Inactivity on our part will most effectively seal our eternal fate.
