Steven Lawson: From Death to Life
In demonstrating the grace of salvation, the Apostle Paul tells us that human beings in Adam are not spiritually sick but spiritually dead. Therefore, we cannot bring ourselves to new spiritual life, nor can our good works give us a right standing with God. In this message, Dr. Steven Lawson considers Ephesians 2:1-10 and its instruction on our deadness in sin, God’s sovereign work of regeneration, and salvation by grace alone through faith alone that bears fruit in good works.

But can dead men cry out to God? I loved the sermon, I heard the profound question "What can a dead man do?" But now you tell me if I am not saved then i must call out to God.. Can a dead man call?
That looks like the nicest pulpit I’ve ever seen
Wow, what in the world are you preaching on.
Like Mr Lawson's passion and Salvation is definitely by grace through faith for which we can simply give thanks to God for the gift of his Son Jesus Christ. I'm not sure that this message is the Gospel once delivered as it's scope is too narrow for our Heavenly Father. It is not what was taught by many of the early Church Fathers such as Origen, Athanasius, Gregory of Nyssa etc. Rom 11v32-35.
Pastor Lawson, If Faith is a gift from God, is not Repentance also a gift? I had many tell me I was wrong about repentance and they said anyone could repent, thanks for stating that from God's word.. ✝️ ❣️🛡

In Acts 11:18, we read that “to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance that leads to life.” And in 2 Timothy 2:25, Paul says that we must gently instruct those who oppose us in the hope that “God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth.” So yes repentance is a gift. True faith from God leads to repentance.

Apart from Him, we can do nothing. The carnal mind is At enmity with God it is not subject to God. Neither Indeed, can it be. What is sad is Man is so in love with himself that he must believe that he does something to allow God to save him, or does something to contribute to his salvation rather than giving all glory to God where in belongs.
Old Covenant Baptism vs. New Covenant Baptism (water vs. Spirit) Water baptism was a part of the Old Covenant system of ritual washing. The Old Covenant priests had to wash before beginning their service in the temple. (Ex. 30:17-30) When Christ was water baptized by His cousin John in the Jordan River, He was under the Old Covenant system. He also only ate certain foods, and wore certain clothes, as prescribed by the 613 Old Covenant laws. Christ was water baptized by John and then the Holy Spirit came from heaven. The order is reversed in the New Covenant. A person receives the Holy Spirit upon conversion, and then believers often declare their conversion to their friends and family through a water baptism ceremony. Which baptism makes you a member of Christ’s Church? The New Covenant conversion process is described below. (Born-again) Eph 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, (A person must “hear” the Gospel, and “believe” the Gospel, and will then be “sealed” with the Holy Spirit.) Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (See Jer. 31:34 for the New Covenant promise, and 1 John 2:27 for the fulfillment) ============ Which baptism is a part of the salvation process, based on what the Bible says? What did Peter say below? Acts 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. Acts 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Based on Luke 3:16, and John 1:33, and Acts 11:15-16, the most important thing about the word "baptize" in the New Testament has nothing to do with water. The Holy Spirit is the master teacher promised to New Covenant believers in Jeremiah 31:34, and John 14:26, and is found fulfilled in Ephesians 1:13, and 1 John 2:27. Unfortunately, many modern Christians see water when they read the word "baptize" in the text. Based on the above, what is the one baptism of our faith found in the passage below? How many times is the word "Spirit" found in the passage, and how many times is the word "water" found in the passage? Eph 4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, Eph 4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Eph 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, (See 1 Cor. 12:13) “baptize” KJV Mat_3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Mar_1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. (Water or Holy Spirit?, See Eph. 1-13.) Luk_3:16 John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire: Joh_1:26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; Joh_1:33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. 1Co_1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. 1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. (See Eph. 4:1-5) Heb 9:10 Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. (Old Covenant ----> New Covenant) How many people have been saved by the Old Covenant water baptism of John the Baptist? Who did John the Baptist say is the greatest Baptist that ever lived in Luke 3:16? What kind of New Covenant baptism comes from Christ? Hebrews 9:10 Old Covenant vs. New Covenant (ESV) but deal only with food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until the time of reformation. (Geneva) Which only stood in meates and drinkes, and diuers washings, and carnal rites, which were inioyned, vntill the time of reformation. (GW) These gifts and sacrifices were meant to be food, drink, and items used in various purification ceremonies. These ceremonies were required for the body until God would establish a new way of doing things. (KJV) Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation. (KJV+) Which stood onlyG3440 inG1909 meatsG1033 andG2532 drinks,G4188 andG2532 diversG1313 washings,G909 andG2532 carnalG4561 ordinances,G1345 imposedG1945 on them untilG3360 the timeG2540 of reformation.G1357 (NKJV) concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation. (NLT) For that old system deals only with food and drink and various cleansing ceremonies-physical regulations that were in effect only until a better system could be established. (YLT) only in victuals, and drinks, and different baptisms, and fleshly ordinances-till the time of reformation imposed upon them .
To equate the physically dead Lazarus with a spiritually dead person is not a biblical idea or teaching. Although a popular comparison today, it is instructive that no biblical writer ever makes it - not Jesus, not any of the Apostles - no one. But being "dead" is used of the prodigal son, where Jesus is giving us a picture of redemption and the Father's love for us. In the Bible, the prodigal son's father says, "For this my son was dead, and is alive again: he was lost, and is found." Luke 15:24 As Jesus tells the story, the son faced the shipwreck of his life, the result of his sinful choices, and desires to come home to the father, penitent and expecting nothing - all this while being in the same state as the "spiritually dead" Paul references. When he came, he was received by a gracious, merciful, loving Father who desired for him to come . . . but didn't go get him . . . a Father who waited with open arms. If we're looking for comparisons to a person being spiritually dead and then spiritually alive, why not use the example that Jesus offered for this transformation rather than one that no biblical writer uses?

By grace are you saved through faith. By grace. . And that not of yourself, it is the gift of GOD. Grace from GOD, faith comes to us, but faith is the connection, the very glue, that makes us one, it is our part. The whole process is GOD the father, JESUS -- Emmanuel, GOD with us, and the HOLY SPIRIT living in us, with, through, and because of faith in HIM, are made spiritually one. We are made in the image of GOD, but according to Calvin, are destitute, depraved and totally lost, with no desire or ability to have faith in HIM, unless HE over turns only some of us by irresistible grace. I can't follow Calvin. I find it easier to follow JESUS. John 3:16-17.
