God's Spurgeons

It is with a cheeky intent on pun that I am sharing with you one of the writings of Charles Haddon Spurgeon.

While reading one of his many Spirit inspired writings: "Grace - God's Unmerited favor", I took a quantum leap in understanding grace in all its fundamentality.

For the longest time, I have taken pride in the fact that I have received salvation through the Finished Work of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But now, I know that it was God who first planted that desire and given me that gift of faith to believe. At that moment of revelation, all hints of pride vanished. Then it occurred to me that until that time, my understanding of grace has been smacked right in the midst of self-righteousness. It was then that I know what it means that the flesh will not and cannot understand the things of God.

Natural men in all its self will never think of God, let alone receive salvation. It is the touch of God's mercy, the source of His grace that flows into me through the channel of faith that He alone has given me in the first place.

It was at the point that I understood what is meant by our Lord being the Author and Finisher of Faith. And I take comfort in knowing that what He has began, He will definitely complete. It was then that I felt relieved of the constant lamenting over my lack of faith.

"From faith to faith" has since then taken on a brand new life in me!

Well, that's all I have to share for today. Thanks for stopping by.

God Bless.
