The Verdict: Guilty and Dead Apart from the grace of God in regeneration, the natural man has no hope of salvation. He possesses neither the desire nor the ability to love God, to keep His laws, to repent of sin, to trust in Christ, or to understand the gospel. Unless God intervenes, the natural man will suffer eternally in hell. Humanly speaking, no natural person could ever be saved. No matter how many opportunities he is given, no matter how wide a gate is opened before him, no matter how winsomely Christ is presented, he simply cannot, will not see his need. He is dead in sin, guilty, and condemned, having committed spiritual suicide in Adam.
So if sinners are dead in sin and are neither willing nor able to repent and believe, how do we evangelize?
This book answers the question biblically as well as offers examples and scenarios in dealing with unbelievers.
