Understanding Christianity

Jesus has sent us on an impossible mission of declaring God's gospel and discipling for God's Great Commission. There are two main reasons this mission is "impossible": (1) If we are to be sent like Jesus was sent into the world, our mission will be costly and require sacrifice. (2)Only the power of the Holy Spirit can do the work of bringing a lost person to faith in Christ. We must realize that we have no power of persuasion or cleverness or gimmicks or ability to cause the new birth in a sinner. We can’t open blind eyes. We can’t change hearts. We can’t overcome deadness to sin. Only God in His sovereign grace can do this work. www.seancole.net
