Irresistible Call (Part 1)

A Broadcast with Steven Lawson

The image of conception and birth does not need much explanation. On the contrary, as human beings we understand vividly and fully the passive activity of the infant in birth. At no time does the baby possess any decision or authority in its conception or growth, but it comes into the world helpless and in total dependence on external forces. Jesus knew the power and clarity surrounding this process, and He used it metaphorically to describe the work of the Holy Spirit in regeneration. As Dr. Lawson demonstrates in this lesson, Jesus, and John through Him, leaves no ambiguity to the process of salvation: God carries out His sovereign will in salvation, and spiritually dead hearts, like a baby, cannot contribute or refuse.
