Total Depravity (2) - How God Draws the Lost

The sermon refutes the Calvinistic doctrine of total depravity by arguing that God actively draws all people to Himself through common grace rather than irresistible force. It identifies creation, conscience, and the light given to every man as universal means by which God reveals truth and invites response. Pastor Friesen emphasizes that while humanity is fallen, individuals retain the moral ability to accept or reject the gospel invitation extended through special revelation. By examining passages such as John 6 and Romans 1, the text asserts that rejection of this light leads to a reprobate mind, not an inherent inability to believe. Ultimately, the message encourages believers to participate in God's courtship of the lost by sharing the gospel, affirming that salvation is available to whosoever wills to receive it.
