Subject: How were you drawn to Christ? |
Bible Note: Dear brother: When I think on these things I am reminded of the words "the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?" Think of Saul of Tarsus, God had to bring him to his knees on the Damascus road, the jailor of Philippi an earthquake had to shake his life upside down and yet we think of Lydia with other women praying down by the riverside and we read of her "whose heart the Lord opened. I believe in each of our lives we look back and see the hand of God and realize that even before we knew it he was bringing circumstances into our path that were drawing us to himself. I agree that we must be abundantly faithful in pointing out to lost sinners their sinful condition before God. "Fear evangelism" as you call it often results in professions which are not always rooted in Christ. O the love that drew salvation's plan O the grace that brought it down to man O the mighty gulf that God did span At calvary! |
