The message of the gospel is simple
enough for little children to understand, but the heart of man is corrupt and
will not absorb the things of God. A person may sit in church for forty
years and hear the gospel time and again until he can recite it by rote, yet
never comprehend or trust. Such is the depth of our depravity.
Such people sit there weekly in
your church and in mine. Merely brushing shoulders with us doesn’t do
anything for them. You can take a corpse to a crowded ballpark, but he
won’t watch the game. Unless the Spirit grants resurrection, the dead
remain dead. The only hope of any person, regardless of his church or
family background, is that the Spirit of God will call him savingly unto
Christ.
