Hand out Free Will drawing handouts & discuss same.
birth, creation, resurrection, bride = pictures of salvation
Two stories used to illustrate coming to Christ that are not true:
“I met Jesus at the crossroads: Satan, too, was standing there….”
Jesus is a life preserver: you just need to reach out and grab him.
but of God
but of [the will of] God
salvation is monergistic
Joshua 24:19 - You cannot
Isaiah 43:11 – Beside me there is no savior
Hebrews 12:2 – Author and Finisher
Ephesians 2:8 - Grace
This is not to say that the one coming to Christ does nothing, is totally passive:
Lazarus (John 11:1) Dry Bones of Ezekiel (Ezekiel 37:3-10)
Next Sunday: things that do not save you and how God brings you to himself.
