The Bondage Of The Sinner's Will - L. R. Shelton

The sermon emphasizes that genuine faith in Christ isn's a matter of intellectual assent, emotional experience, or adherence to rules, but a complete reliance and trust in Him as a person. It argues that fallen humanity is inherently incapable of such faith due to a bondage of the will, stemming from a depraved nature and lack of spiritual understanding, necessitating God's Sovereign grace to initiate belief and regeneration. Ultimately, Salvation is presented as a gift of God's love, contingent upon His work in the heart, and not a product of human choice or effort, with the call to 'whosoever' dependent on God's prior act of enabling faith.
