Prov. 19:27 – “Cease to hear instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge”
Notice the verb – “hear”
Remember faith comes by hearing & hearing through the word of Christ – Rom. 10:17
What Does Conversion Involve?
2 things:
a) the dying of the old man
b) the coming to life of the new man
This is by God’s Sovereign work alone through the saving instrumentality of the gift of grace & faith.
To die to self – is to be genuinely sorry for my sin, to hate it more and more & to run away from it.
To come to life – is to receive wholeheartedly with joy Christ Jesus, and to have a desire to do every kind of good work as God desires of me
God is Greater than…
“The floods have lifted up,
O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their roaring.
Mightier than the thunders of many waters,
mightier than the waves of the sea,
the Lord on high is mighty”
Psalm 93:3, 4
Important Earthquakes
There was an earthquake at Calvary (Matt. 27:54) & there was an earthquake at the Resurrection (Matt. 28:2) – They came from God. What other conclusion can there be? The one prompted a confession: “truly this man was the Son of God”; the other saw a stone rolled away.
The Power of the Sea
The catastrophe in Japan should remind us that God rules the raging of the sea & when its waves rise he stills them – Ps. 89:9. Though Satan would throw the nations into despair – God will do his work simply because he is God. May the Gospel do great things in Japan.
