Romans 1: 16: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, which is "the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth," will not bargain with the world. God does not negotiate with the sinner. The glory of Adam's flesh and yours must and will pass away, must and will come to an end. The Holy Spirit must and will wither the flesh of every sinner, through Holy Spirit conviction, whether in or out of the church in bringing that individual to Christ. He will come to the end of all flesh, because Gal. 6:14 says, "God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world." When God gets ready to save a sinner, He sets aside everything that sinner is by nature, or ever hopes to be, and makes a new creation. Salvation is wrought in the heart by the Holy Spirit through the Word. Jonah 2:9 says, "Salvation is of the Lord." The only part we play in getting saved is to bring our sin to the cross. Sadly, modern churches are "playing church." They have Easter egg hunts, board game nights, trips to amusement parks, all while people are in route to hell. The true church, the remnant, needs to speak up and speak the Word of God. Let us be counted in that group.
