Spiritual Death And Divine Life
- Alistair Begg connects the healed man's story to our spiritual condition: by nature we are spiritually dead and helpless to save ourselves.
- Eternal life comes when one hears Jesus' word and believes the One who sent Him, passing from death to life.
Listener's Response To 'Do You Want To Be Healed?'
- A listener emailed that hearing Begg's question 'Do you want to be healed?' led her to pray, "Yes, Lord Jesus, I desperately want to be."
- That response shifted her understanding from physical healing to the deeper need for spiritual transformation.
Respond To Jesus' Call
- Hear and believe Jesus' words because faith comes by hearing the Word of God.
- Respond to Jesus' invitation to come to Him rather than relying on religious effort or self-improvement.
