But God

We completed our study of Total Depravity by adding Romans 8:7-8, where Paul says the unregenerate mind is not merely indifferent toward God but actively hostile, unable to submit to his law or please him. Working through Ephesians 2:1-10 we saw the full anatomy of spiritual death, and then the two most glorious words in the Bible interrupted everything: But God. And as Total Depravity ends, Unconditional Election begins, pressing us with the question, does God choose us because we believe, or do we believe because God has chosen us?"
