We cannot convince a man to believe any more than we can raise the dead. Such things are the work of God's Spirit. Men are brought to faith only through the supernatural working of God, and He has promised to work-not through human wisdom or intellectual expertise, but through the preaching of Christ crucified and resurrected from the dead!

A man is saved only by faith ... only by faith.

The question is not, "Do you want to go to heaven?" The question is, "Do you want God?"

We must refuse to lean upon the broken staff of human wisdom & cling to the gospel alone as the power of God to save a hardened humanity.

"But I got saved that way!" No, you got saved in spite of that way not because of that way.

If a person professes faith in Christ and yet falls away or makes no progress in godliness, it does not mean that he has lost his salvation. It reveals that he was never truly converted.

If you give them a God made in their own image, I guarantee they'll accept Him. But He won't be the God who saves.
