Application:

1.  If you struggle with the doctrine of total depravity (that we are unable to do anything that glorifies God of and by ourselves), can you now see how we need Christ to give us spiritual life just as much as Lazarus needed Christ to give Him physical life?  [Eph 2:1]

2.  Looking back 2000 years later, can you see how God perfectly orchestrated all these events to reach the perfect outcome of His will, our salvation?  [Rom 9:11]

3.  Can you better understand and enjoy the freedom that we have as Christians to do God’s will as we better understand how the Holy Spirit is the one guiding us and leading us?  [(Gal 5:18]
