Charles Haddon (C.H.) Spurgeon (June 19, 1834 January 31, 1892) was a British Reformed Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the "Prince of Preachers." In his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to around 10,000,000 people, often up to 10 times a week at different places. His sermons have been translated into many languages. Spurgeon was the pastor of the New Park Street Chapel in London for 38 years. In 1857, he started a charity organization called Spurgeon's which now works globally. He also founded Spurgeon's College, which was named after him after his death.
Spurgeon was a prolific author of many types of works including sermons, an autobiography, a commentary, books on prayer, a devotional, a magazine, and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated into many languages during his lifetime. Arguably, no other author, Christian or otherwise, has more material in print than C.H. Spurgeon.

Thank you for reading this sermon it is just what to hear to about sin repentance but I do I do not know enough about Christ but there is so much truth that is said by text from biblical that makes sense to me understand the sermon follow in the proper simple thank you may God bless you amen.
So this Spurgeon, one of the supposed early rockstars of american calvinism, his best argument is that "No, the verse actually means the opposite of what it means!"
What do you believe?
@@TobyTalkless The traditional soteriology the patriarchs believed. That God picks some people, and everyone else gets a choice(and has the ability to choose, given to them by God). Just as the Bible says.
@@SeanWinters I've been doing a bible study with some coworkers and we don't agree on everything. I will ask them about a verse and they will ask me about a verse. My mother believes the way you described your understanding of the Bible. For myself, I run into verses that seem so clear on a few things that I can't understand it from another angle. I understand verses like Genesis 6:5 to be literal, and if it is literal then I'm forced to believe no good comes from man. It's my understanding that we have free will to choose what we want, we just have evil wants. Not saying I know all scripture. Maybe there is a clear chapter or verses that show man choosing on his own to come to Christ and I'm just not aware of it.
@@SeanWintersYES. That’s the true meaning of many are called but few are CHOSEN. God calls upon most of the world, maybe except a few very wicked people, and it’s up to the called to answer or to not answer. The Chosen have no choice, they just are Chosen.
@@SeanWinters Be careful with that assumption about the Fathers. John Gill, The Cause of God and Truth lists numerous Fathers who held to TULIP.
Martin Luther said free will was a thing that existed in name only, and he was right. Today the Church believes in the “three yard line gospel”. Jesus gets the ball down to the three yard line but he is unable to score the winning touchdown so he has to hand it off to you and your freewill. The three yard line gospel and its underlying premise of free will is destroyed in the following five arguments.
1. The gospel is the powerful word of God that saves and results in the new birth.
Acts 11:14
he will declare to you a message by which you will be saved, you and all your household.
*The word for saved is a passive participle it indicates the message will save and the recipients of the message will be acted upon by this message.
1 Peter 1:22-24
since you have been born again,not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God; 24 for
“All flesh is like grass
and all its glory like the flower of grass.
The grass withers,
and the flower falls,
25 but the word of the Lord remains forever.”
And this word iis the good news that was preached to you.
*In this passage the gospel is the word of God that produces the new birth. The term born again here is a passive participle indicating those who experience it are acted upon. This passive participle is used again in the third chapter of John and the first epistle of John 9 times, and it is passive in every other instance of the NT i have looked at. The clear teaching is that being born into this world or the kingdom of God is an act performed by someone other than ourselves.Babies don’t give birth to themselves.
See also James 1:18, John 1:12,13, 1 Thessalonians 1:5, 2 Thessalonians 2:14
2. The new birth results in faith.
John 3:3 Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.
*The seeing mentioned here is obviously faith and it is the result of the new birth.
1 John 5:1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him.
*Again the participle for born is perfect passive, it points to the action of the new birth occurring prior to the action of believing. Note the words in the english “has been” .Paul also uses other metaphors for the new birth like new creation Galatians 6:15. circumcision of the heart Romans 2:29, Colossians 2:11. that point to divine agency not human agency in calling, regeneration or whatever you want to call it.
3. Faith is considered a gift.
Philippians 1:29 For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
*According to Daniel Wallace in his Greek grammar the pronoun “this” can refer most likely back to either “grace by faith salvation” or it could have an “adverbial effect” that could be translated “and especially”, this points to faith as a gift. This is most likely from the context, since Paul thinks men are dead and are raised by grace, see 2:5.
4. Grace is an attribute of God that is exercised in a sovereign and effective work that results in the salvation of souls in every aspect of their salvation.
2 Timothy 1:9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,
Galatians 1:15 But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace,
*Salvation is applied in calling and that is “by grace”
2 Corinthians 12:9 - But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
*Note how Paul in this verse Paul equates grace with the “power”( my power) of God in the first sentence and the “power of Christ”, in the second.
1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.
*It wasn’t Paul but Grace that made him work harder.
2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.
*Note “God is able” to make grace abound not man.
Ephesians 2:5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-by grace you have been saved-
*Your dead in your sin until God’s Grace makes you alive!
Ephesians 3:7 Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God’s grace, which was given me by the working of his power.
*Gods grace is transmitted by the “working of his power”.
1 Peter 5:10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
5. Individuals are placed in union with Christ by God and this union encompasses every aspect of their salvation.
*In each of these passages Paul uses the phrase “in Christ” to describe the positioning of Christians and attributes this work to the will of God not man.
1 Corinthians 1:30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
*This would be a false statement if man placed himself in Christ through his faith.
Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,
*God is the one who is to be blessed because of our union with Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:4 I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus,
*Why thank God if man is the cause of his being placed in Christ?
2 Corinthians 1:21 And it is God who establishes us with you in Christ, and has anointed us,
*Starting to see the pattern here? God is the cause of our union with Christ.
See also 2 Timothy 1:9 above
Many other arguments could be added to this like predestination, calling, Romans 8:28,29, etc. But this is sufficient for anyone willing to settle with scripture. For those committed to their “ idol free will”as the great Puritan John Owen called it no scripture is ever sufficient.
Amen! Thanks for breaking all that down.
YEP!!!!!!
