Christ Gives What We Cannot

This sermon examines Acts 3:1-10 to illustrate that Christ provides spiritual life to those who are entirely helpless, rather than merely assisting them. The preacher argues that the lame man's inability to walk mirrors humanity's total depravity and need for regeneration by grace alone. By contrasting religious familiarity with genuine faith, the text warns against substituting knowledge of God for a personal relationship with Him. The healing serves as an enacted prophecy of the kingdom, demonstrating that salvation is intended to restore believers to active worship and glorify God. Ultimately, the transformed life of the healed man stands as the strongest apologetic for the power of the gospel.
