Illumination | Enlightenment By The Spirit
Shared on: Nov 27, 2023
Why is it that two people can hear the same sermon and one person remains unconverted while the person next to them hears the Gospel and comes to believe in Jesus Christ? It is because the Holy Spirit breathed life into that converted soul by the illumination of the hearing and preaching of God's Word. Paul tells us in Romans 8:6-7, "For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot." Use this sermon collection this upcoming Lord's Day in reliance of the Holy Spirit.
