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!

The work is hindered. The glory of God is tarnished and it is because the people of God no longer know how to discern the things of God.

It’s absolutely absurd to say you are a disciple of Jesus Christ yet not bear the fruit of Jesus Christ.

In that moment of salvation, of belief, they are opening their lives to the person of Jesus.

Salvation is a work of God to show His glory. That’s why He’s not going to let it fail.

The person that I most admire is Jesus Christ. He is the only perfect Person. There is simply no comparison. The difference between Him and all other men is not merely quantitative, but qualitative. He is in a category all to Himself.

God does not call men to make Jesus Lord (as though they had such power), but to live in absolute submission to the Lord He has made.
