When Man Cannot Return: The Spiritual Inability of the Sinner
Why does one person believe the gospel while another rejects it? Is the sinner merely weak, confused, or lacking information-or is the human condition far more serious?
When Man Cannot Return examines the biblical doctrine of humanity's spiritual inability. Scripture does not describe the sinner as someone who simply needs encouragement or another opportunity. It describes humanity as spiritually dead, enslaved to sin, unable to understand the things of the Spirit, and unwilling to come to Christ apart from the gracious intervention of God.
In clear, biblical, and pastoral language, this book explores the fall of Adam, the bondage of the human will, the necessity of the new birth, the divine gift of faith, human responsibility, and the reason the gospel must still be proclaimed to everyone.
This doctrine was not revealed to lead us into despair, but to show us the greatness of grace. Salvation does not begin when spiritually dead people find enough strength to return to God. It begins when God gives life to the dead.
Book 1 of the Saved by Grace series.
