The Question Asked by Calvinists: emphasizing God’s Sovereignty - Emphasizing man’s inability Man dead through his sins (Eph. 2:1, Col. 2:13) Can a spiritually dead man respond to the Gospel of Christ?

Unregenerate Gentiles can “know” – Creation (Rom. 1:19-20) Nicodemus could “reason” – Jesus is teacher from God (Jn. 3:2, 3,5) Unregenerate Paul served God with “clear conscience” (Acts 23:1, 24:16, 26:9)

Unregenerate Paul had a “will” to serve God and His Law (Rom. 7) Spiritually dead Men are not so corrupted in spiritual perception, conscience, will and emotions that they cannot respond to the Gospel The LIGHT OF THE GOSPEL – Sufficient (Acts 26: 17-18)

Dead “hear” the voice of the Son of God and “live” John 5:25-26, John 6:63

The Father “Draws” us to Christ: Through being “Taught” John 6:44, 65 John 6:45, Heb. 8:11 Acts 2:22-38, 41, I Pet. 4:6

Begotten through the Word (I Pet. 1:23) Not Quickening Voice and then through the word!

Spiritually Dead can Read writing and believe (Jn. 20:30-31) Where is the Quickening Voice Here?

God’s Word is sent as “snow” and “rain” to prepare the heart (Isa. 55:8-11) Seed of word prepares, produces and accomplishes!

The Lord “opened” Lydia’s heart (Acts 16:14) She “heard” – Lord opened – she Hearkened in obedience

Raised With Christ To Walk in Newness of Life (Eph. 2:5, Col. 2:12-13) Rom. 6:3-4
