“Drawn To The Saviour” – Philippians 2:13

“Drawn To The Saviour”

“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. ” Philippians 2:13

Notice, in John 6:44, Jesus tells how people can come to him. There is but one way. Jesus said, “No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.” No one can come to Jesus except he is drawn of God. He might have his emotions moved and stirred, and I believe in emotions. We need tears and excitement in our preaching and witnessing. We need warm hearts and cool heads. How many today have cold hearts and hot heads! I never want to be one to say I do not believe in tears and emotions in connection with the work of God. You can have your emotions stirred, and in the midst of excitement you might have your will moved upon to come to God, but “no man can come to God,” Jesus said, “except the Father draw him.” There is only one way to come to Jesus Christ and only one holy, divine purpose for coming, and that is to come to be saved and to come called of God’s Holy Spirit. Any soulwinning ministry must be a Spirit-filled ministry because only the Holy Spirit can draw men to God.

Remember: “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: “(Eph. 2: 8). — T.M
