In what ways are sinners both active and passive in their salvation?

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that our core problem is not neutrality but a natural hostility towards God, rooted in our fallen hearts as described in Ephesians 2. Scripture passages like John 3 highlight this inherent "love of darkness" that prevents genuine trust in Christ. The practical takeaway is that a divine work is necessary to turn our hearts, enabling us to actively embrace and depend on Jesus through faith.
