1 | Is hearing necessary for salvation? | Rom 10:17 | disciplerami | 76506 | ||
Dear Robert, I would like to comment on something you've said here: "It is the Holy Spirit which reveals to us the sinfulness of sin and our need as a guilty sinner. He also reveals to us the possibility of redemption through Christ." It seems clear that the Holy Spirit only does this convincing--reproving the world of sin--through the preaching of the Word of God (public and private, reading, etc). Rather than conclude that the Word is basically ineffectual until divine guidance of the Holy Spirit comes, I believe the intrinsic nature of the Spirit's Sword makes it effectual: it calls to account and warns of judgment to those who do not heed. Your thoughts? Good day. |

2 | Is hearing necessary for salvation? | Rom 10:17 | Robert Nicholson | 76544 | ||
Dear Disciplerami: Thank you for reminding me of this wonderful verse: "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart"(Heb. 4:12) It was not my intention to diminish the the power of the word of God. I agree that the word of God is effectual and demands a response from all who honestly read it. I believe that the Spirit of God works with and through the word of God to speak to the hearts of men. Peace in his name Robert |
