1 | Would Adam and Eve have fallen? | Gen 3:13 | Wild Olive Shoot | 186975 | ||
Dear Brian, we have the abililty to choose God? Really??? What man, without God's acting upon him would even consider choosing God? Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. Titus 3:3-5: 3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Stand in His grace, WOS |

Dear Brian, If God calls, there is not a man who can resist, or resist for long. Kind of puts us in charge of things rather than the sovereign Lord if we could now doesn’t it? God’s calling is an effectual calling. Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: "If God should choose this morning to call the hardest-hearted wretch within hearing of the gospel, he must obey. Let God call—a man may resist, but he cannot resist effectually. Down thou shalt come, sinner, if God cries down; there is no standing when he would have thee fall. And mark, every man that is saved, is always saved by an overcoming call which he cannot withstand; he may resist it for a time, but he cannot resist so as to overcome it, he must give way, he must yield when God speaks. If he says, "Let there be light," the impenetrable darkness gives way to light; if he says, "Let there be grace," unutterable sin gives way, and the hardest-hearted sinner melts before the fire of effectual calling." C. H. Spurgeon Stand in His grace, WOS |
