Whatever one sows, that will he also reap. Sowing to our own fallen human nature (the flesh) results in corruption, but sowing to the Spirit results in eternal life. Because of our total depravity, we are entirely unable to save ourselves; there is no ceremony or good work that can earn salvation. Instead, eternal life is a free gift received through faith in Jesus, whose atoning death on the cross paid for our sins in full. Then as converted people we experience the work of the Spirit seeking to sanctify us. This is enabled when we take the faith we had to come to Christ in the first place and continue with it in trusting the Holy Spirit to empower our sanctification and Christian service.
This sermon delves into core reasons behind Jesus Christ's mission on Earth, culminating in His death and resurrection, particularly focusing on the issue of human depravity. It emphasises the deceitful and desperately wicked nature of the fallen human heart, as illustrated in Jeremiah 17:9-10, and our incapability of self-redemption. The preacher underscores the necessity of divine intervention, where the only solution to this profound problem is the regeneration of the heart through Jesus Christ. Highlighting the essence of Easter, the sermon calls for a personal reflection on one's spiritual condition and the biblical invitation to experience the transformative power of Christ's love and sacrifice, promising a new, redeemed heart capable of truly reflecting God's image.
