Dear Reader,
It has
been a so-not-short-time since I last put up a post! Well, you know how life
happens and then time moves so quickly. Lol. Oh well, today’s post may seem
short and straight to the point, but sometimes its not the length of a message
that matters. And so I hope you are blessed.
2
Corinthians 4:15b – “And as God’s grace brings more and more people to Christ,
there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory.”
What
struck me from this verse is that it is God’s grace that brings people to
salvation. Not my beautifully crafted sermons or my evangelism strategies or
even my testimony, as powerful as it may be. Yes, there are tools that can be
used to tell the message of salvation, but they can be used and a person’s
heart will still remain hardened. It is God’s GRACE; His unmerited favor,
kindness and mercy that is the magnet that draws men to Himself. That is why no
man should boast of bringing souls to God. This is why it is God that receives all
the glory for the salvation of the lost soul.
God’s
grace says ‘Come, salvation is full and
free here. Come as you are. You do not stand condemned. Come and have access to
what you do not deserve (eternal life). Come and obtain mercy.’ This is what
brings more and more people to Jesus.
As the Bible
says, “So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of
God that sheweth mercy.” (Romans 9:16)
