Sovereign Grace: Its Source, Its Nature and Its Effects
Moody, Dwight Lyman
Grace (Theology) -- Sermons; Sermons, American -- 19th century
Mr. R.--God has provided this salvation for lost sinners--those who
are thoroughly bad and corrupt. It is for such that God has shown
His salvation, His love, His grace.
Mr. M.--What would you say to any one who thinks he has no power to
believe?
Mr. R.--He _has_ the power to believe. Probably he is trying to
believe something about himself; to feel something about himself
instead of giving credit to God--He is not asked to realize this or
that about himself, but to believe the faithful God.
Mr. M.--Some say they have no power to overcome a besetting sin?
Mr. R.--Jesus came proclaiming liberty to the captives. As we read
in the beautiful words of the Church of England Prayer-book: "Though
we be tied and bound by the chains of our sin, let the pitifulness
of Thy mercy save us." Jesus Christ takes the prisoners of sin and
breaks off their chains.
Mr. M.--There is something said about confessing Christ. Would you
advise any one who wants to become a Christian to start right here
by confessing Christ with the mouth?
Mr. R.--God is already on your side, whoever you are. Christ is
Immanuel--God with us and for us. He is already on your side,
whether you believe it or not. Now it is for you to decide whether
He shall be your Saviour. He says that if you own Him as Lord--who
is now the one rejected by the world--He is responsible to be your
Saviour from that moment.
