God Can Save Anyone (6 of 12)
Series: Unstoppable
Joey Rodgers
Acts 9
Sing w/ me - Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me, I once was lost, but now I am found, was blind but now I see.
I wonder, what makes us think we're so special that God would save a wretch like you/me but not a wretch like someone else? That He'd rescue us by grace, yet His grace is insufficient for the really bad/undeserving people around us.
If I've been reminded of anything over the past 10 days in Israel, it's been that God so loved the world (that's you, me, and everyone) that He gave His only Son to die on a cross to pay for our sin to rescue us from the dominion of darkness so that He can bring us into the kingdom of His Son in whom we will find redemption and forgiveness.
Daily in Israel I was reminded of how a holy, loving God is in relentless pursuit of His creation to draw us all to Himself no matter what tribe, nation, or ethnicity we might be from - and no matter how indifferent/hostile we might be to Him.
Several weeks ago we started a series of lesson in Acts about the unstoppable movement of the H.S. and His impact upon our lives as God's church.
In this series we've discovered that the ministry/growth of the church has never been, nor will ever be, a work of the human ingenuity, effort, or ability, but solely the work and influence of the H.S. In fact, what's clear in Scripture is that anything built on the ingenuity/ability of man, while it might look glitzy/glamorous - will neither last nor matter.
Just as it is w/ the church as an Unstoppable work of the H.S., we find in the story in Acts 9 that salvation too is absolutely/completely a Divine work of God thru the ministry of the H.S. to draw people into relationship to God thru the atoning death of Jesus.
This truth is beautifully expressed by Paul in Ephesians 1 where he explains to us that from the beginning salvation was PLANNED by the Father, PURCHASED by the Son, ...
