The Power to Transform Lives
Along with the command to take the good news of salvation to the world, God has given us the only message that has the power to transform lives—the gospel of Jesus Christ. All around us, people are trying all sorts of tools for life transformation. They are turning over new leaves, attending training classes, joining recovery programs, seeing counselors...the list goes on. But the only thing that can truly change lost and sinful human nature is the power found in the gospel.
Charles Spurgeon wrote, “In 1857, a day or two before preaching at the Crystal Palace, I went to decide where the platform should be fixed; and, in order to test the acoustic properties of the building, cried in a loud voice, ‘Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.’ In one of the galleries, a workman, who knew nothing of what was being done, heard the words, and they came like a message from heaven to his soul. He was smitten with conviction on account of sin, put down his tools, went home, and there, after a season of spiritual struggling, found peace and life by beholding the Lamb of God.”
The power to see people saved and transformed does not lie in us, but in the message we have been entrusted to deliver. That is our responsibility—not the results. If we are faithful in presenting people with the gospel, God will do the work of saving and remaking their lives.
Growth Principle:
What our world needs is not better methods, but the faithful proclamation of the message of the gospel.
