The Holy Spirit & You, Part 2 | Drawn to Christ By the Spirit
Some believers wish there were a tried and true formula for bringing someone to Christ. Preparation is good, but sometimes people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. Pastor Greg Laurie points out the Holy Spirit is the One who draws people to Christ. We can certainly plant a seed, but we have to allow for the Spirit's work in their lives.
In our natural bodies, there are many things inside that keep us alive, although we've never seen them. Antibodies, clotting agents, intestinal flora, white blood cells. Now, spiritually speaking, there are invisible forces at work that want to help us and save us, although other forces want to destroy us. Pastor Greg Laurie points out the work of God's Spirit acquaints us with our sin, and acquaints us with our Savior. It's important we know how to respond.
Few of us buy products to solve problems we don't have. Why would you buy a flea collar if you don't have a pet? But there are many people who have a problem they're not yet aware of. They're afflicted with the "good enough" syndrome. They're convinced they're good enough to get to Heaven. Pastor Greg Laurie points out that the Holy Spirit shows us our sin, shows us its penalty, and shows us our need for a solution. It's life-saving information.
The Lord created us with a will of our own. In doing so, He knew some people would reject Him, but that was His plan from the beginning. And yet the Holy Spirit calls out to us, drawing us to the Lord. It's the wise person who heeds that call. Pastor Greg Laurie points out that's just one of the jobs of the Holy Spirit. He has a multi-dimensional role in the lives of believers. And few of us know just how involved He is in our lives. It's about time for the whole story.
In this special Sunday message, Pastor Jonathan Laurie gives a practical message on humility from James 4. Get insight on how to find a life of joy and blessing through submitting to the will of God. “He who thinks of making no claims shall have all that others claim and by claiming cannot obtain… Only an empty vessel can God fill with His gifts. And the emptier we are of anything that is due to ourselves, the more can God pour into these vessels His eternal riches, honors, and glories.” —R. C. H. Lenski
