What is the creed of the natural man according to the sermon?

Answered in 1 source

The creed of the natural man is centered on self-effort and denial of the necessity of grace for salvation.

The sermon identifies the creed of the natural man as one that relies on personal efforts and good deeds to attain favor with God. This perspective leads individuals to assert that they can attain righteousness by doing their best, being kind, or following moral guidelines. However, the Bible teaches that these efforts fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). The natural man does not perceive the things of God and considers divine grace to be foolishness. In contrast, true salvation emphasizes that we cannot purify ourselves or earn salvation; it is solely through faith in the grace of Jesus Christ that we are saved. Thus, the doctrines of grace challenge and correct the inadequate and misplaced beliefs of the natural man.
