Episode notes
Divine Drawing Creates Desire
- Alistair Begg explains that no one comes to Jesus unless the Father draws them by creating a new desire in the heart.
- This divine drawing overcomes our natural stubborn refusal and turns willful opposition into willing trust.
Stories Of Sudden Spiritual Awakening
- Listeners share stories of attending church for years and suddenly being changed when the preaching or songs 'got better' or God changed them.
- Alistair Begg uses these recollections to illustrate how the Father unexpectedly opens hearts over time.
Grace Precedes Our Choice
- Left to our sinful selves we would not choose salvation, so God's drawing initiates true faith rather than forcing it.
- The drawing works through our will by creating a new principle within us that inclines us to Christ.
