Anchored in Romans 8:7, he draws from Ezekiel’s dry bones and Jesus raising Lazarus in John 11 to illustrate monergism: God alone gives life where none exists, commanding the dead to rise by His word and Spirit. Exposing synergism as false reliance on human cooperation, he proclaims Christ’s vicarious obedience on the cross as the path to revival. Believers are called to rest in God’s finished work, mortify the flesh, and walk in freedom to obey—seeing God’s glory as we approach Holy Week and Easter.
