Bible Note: Hi, Doc thank you for your comments relating to my question. I believe people are drawn supernaturally to Christ, it happened to me. That day when I received Jesus as my Lord and Savior there were a lot of things I didn't know about; But God responded to my child like faith when I cried out to Him and asked Him to forgive my sinful life. God did something to me that day, He put hope in me. See God responds to faith. Heb 11:6 says without faith it is impossible to please Him and that we have to believe that He exists and also that He rewards us when we seek Him in faith. So in faith I asked Christ into my heart. I received Him like it says in John 1:12,13 We know that we are His temple, that He dwells in the heart of men. but He won't dwell in our hearts unless we ask Him to. My life didn't begin to change until I asked Him (received Him, invited Him) into my heart. But I wouldn't have got that opportunity unless someone shared the good news of Christ with me. I had to come to terms with my sinful lifestyle and selfish ways and repent. I'm not sure what (ordo salutis) is but I do know what has happened to me and if we look at some examples in the bible we can see that salvation is a gift given to us by Chris Jesus. One example: the thief didn't have time to study out his salvation but just believed in Christ and asked him to remember him. We all know thay he was going to heaven. Do we confess Jesus before men? The word says we must. Matt 10:32 or Christ won't confess us before the Father. And we need the Holy Spirit to do this effectively Acts 1:8 |
