If we simply preach the effects of redemption in the human life instead of the revealed, divine truth regarding Jesus Himself, the result is not new birth in those who listen.

When you fear God you fear nothing else!

When the darkness of dismay comes, endure until it is over, because out of it will come that following of Jesus which is an unspeakable joy.
