- Does everybody have the ability to perform good works in the sight of God? Or do we require the assistance of His grace in order to obey and please the Lord? In this message, R.C. Sproul addresses these questions by taking us back to the historic debate between Augustine and Pelagius over the extent of human freedom and man’s need for saving grace.

We are free to choose. We are not robots. We are not free from the consequences of our choices.
We have will; it is the impetus of our choices. Whether that impetus is based in slavery to our flesh or our feeble attempts to do what is right, we still have will.
The law is written in our hearts. On occasion we are motivated by our conscience to attempt what is right. Lacking power through the Holy Spirit (unless & until we are born again) we fail. We repeat this process until we do one of the following: ignore our conscience, invent useless salves (religion) to assuage our guilt, or wisely flee to Jesus.
It is God that draws us to Jesus. However, we still have choice and will.
Impotent boy we are enslaved lol
"Robots," the biblical term is "slave to sin". We are robots to sin.
wonderful sermon! thank you for always teaching me a deeper understandment of Gods word!
Ordained unto good works with the spirits help
No man comes to God unless he is drawn.
Yes and all are drawn as it is written:
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

You ever read John 12:32?

Obviously not

Is grace required for the sinners salvation or just an aid to the sinner in his decision to come out of the dark and into the light?
The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." (John 3:8, ESV)
It is required as Grace is an attribute of God, given freely, not chosen..
@@stevebryant5360 Grace is given to all men and we have access into this grace by faith.
Not the other way around.
The wind blows everywhere.
There’s not a single place on earth where the wind does not blow and there’s not a single person where the Holy Spirit doesn’t influence.
@@apilkey Did the Holy Spirit influence those that are in hell this very moment but failed to regenerate them?
@@dallasjohnson7623 Failed? Huh?
I never said the Holy Spirit tries to regenerate everyone.
I said He INFLUENCES everyone.
Scripture is crystal clear only those who BELIEVE are regenerated.
Not quite sure where you’re getting this whole failure argument from.
every human is born prone to sin and under neath its yoke with as little as 1 sin on their account, freedom could only exist if humanity were to be ransomed from underneath its power and universal effect. "The Son of man came not to be served but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many".. A ransom paid for sin and by faith in this offering on the cross humanity is delivered by grace by the Creator. All thats left to do is grow towards Gods will. Some will reach a high calling of absolute devoted service and others will simply be sanctified quietly from a standing point of grace, completion by way of Gods work on the cross. On a philosophical standpoint, its perfect... Would God being perfect represent a perfect philosophy to follow?
I often wonder if he was a genius. For God of course

Would the Roman Catholic Church hold to this view?
Possibly, given that the Council of Ephesus declared Pelagius to be a heretic and they agreed with Augustine.
No they are against real Christianity
What separates Roman Catholics and Protestants is justification. In order for God to declare a ungodly sinner just,he demand’s perfect righteousness . Both sides agree on this .now where it separates is on this . How do we get that righteousness . Rom Cath teaches an individual must have his own righteousness apart from Christs righteousness that pleases God . Prot teaches that man has no righteousness and is completely dependent on Christs righteousness alone .
Dr Sproll was a Reformed Theologian. Simular to John Calvin
Hahahahaha
Wow you are out of it
10.30mins:
@ Eden, Adam did not have the ability to be holy & righteous & and perfect.
The very fact that they coveted the fruit (Gen3:6) from the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil, shows that they had the full ability to do wrong @ Eden itself.
They were righteous @ Eden because the Tree of Life (Jesus) was their righteousness (just as it is today for the born-again).
Have faith in Messiah Yahusha and keep the Commandments of our Heavenly Father. That’s how we know we are in Him. Matthew 5:17-19, Matthew 7:21-27, John 13:15-17, 1 John 2:3-7.
What is a "Messiah Yahusha?"
@@rockycomet4587 Name for God that translates into Joshua
@@adammccaskill2329 That's weird.
❤When resurrection, parting the Red Sea, splitting the moon, a book & other made-up stuff are used to fool & indoctrinate the gullible emotional folks to believe an imaginary God & his prophet/son/saviour are sacred, the dogma causes motivated ignorance while defending the sacredness.❤
Wow in a whole year you managed to indoctrinate no one at all haha
@@iacoponefurio1915
Don't get confused. I'm only trying to un-indoctrinate them from the religious bs, but it's not easy because *"It's Easier to Fool People Than to Convince Them That They Have Been Fooled".*
