Only God Can Save A Lost Sinner

"It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. (64.) But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. (65.) And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father." John 6:63 – 65

This battle in life is growing older by the day. When Paul said “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:” 2 Timothy 4:7 What a fight he must have fought. We are so blessed to live in the Twenty-First Century where we have the complete word of God, but the fight is still hard. With Arminianism blooming like wild flowers these days it certainly makes life hard for Sovereign Grace Churches and their Pastors. It is hard to fight Satan and his theories and lies. Sometimes I have to wonder how the Sovereign Grace of God made it all the way to the Twenty-First Century. You look over at the Arminian churches and see all the wonderful things they have, all the young people whom they are bleaching their young minds with Arminian lies, and it just breaks your heart. It is sad to bring your children up in a right thinking church, a good Sovereign Grace Church only to see them enticed by the bait of Satan’s lies and tools of trickery. The next thing you know they have forgotten all the good truth they were taught for years, and believing and spreading Arminianism. If only they were working that hard for God! However, it may be, we are still here. We may be small, but God is still being honored and blessed in His little church of truth. I still preach the truth about salvation, even if it is only a small group of saved people. My job as a Pastor is to preach the gospel, it is God’s job to allow people to hear it and be saved. While the people of Arminianism are falsely leading people in the wrong direction with their lies, the truth about salvation can still be heard right here in this small Sovereign Grace Baptist Church. As the Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 9:16 “For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of…” because my preaching is nothing except God use it for His glory. We use no lies, we tell no false stories, we do not disrespect God by shouting “He cannot change your will”, we ask for no decisions, turning over a new leaf, or etc. We simply preach the gospel of the bible and if anyone’s life is to be changed by it, then God will change it. Understanding this make preaching the gospel a blessing, because you never know how God will use it. As a Pastor of the Lords church, preaching the gospel is my job, Paul went on to warn us Pastors in 1 Corinthians 9:16 “…for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!” Oh! How sad for those who preach anything other than the truth about how God still saves sinners. Remember this as John wrote in verse 65 “…I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father." Only God can cause repentance to a lost sinner, if you do anything to cause a sinner to falsely move, then before Jesus Christ you will stand guilty. Oh, lost sinner do not believe the false teachers of Arminianism, I plead with you. Find a Sovereign Grace Baptist Church, hear the Pastor and be truly led to the saving blood of Jesus Christ. Do not lose confidence Pastor, church, or believers, God still saves sinners. While the churches of heresy continue to grow, the truth is still in the little Sovereign Grace Baptist Churches. It is through our preaching that the world will come to repentance in Jesus Christ. God is still the Saviour and we are still His messengers. Romans 10:13 - 15 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (14.) How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? (15.) And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”
