Avid
A Pilgrim and a Sojourner...
This quote is from Rolfe Barnard, an Evangelist (1904-1969)... If God has saved you, Did He Do That On Purpose? Did it just happen by accident, or did God make that happen?
Here is a quote about what happens in the life of one that God Calls with an effectual Call, and sees him through all the difficulties that impede the seeking sinner.
By pressing into the kingdom of God is denoted a breaking through opposition and difficulties. There is in the expression a plain intimation of difficulty. If there were no opposition, but the way was all clear and open, there would be no need of pressing to get along. They are so set for salvation, that those things by which others are discouraged, and stopped, and turned back, do not stop them, but they press through them.
Jonathan Edwards (1703−1758)
We should realize that the whole world is against the one who God will save. (John Bunyan) Satan is throwing up obstacles on every hand, and inhibitting the seeking sinner in ways he devised - tried and true.Jonathan Edwards (1703−1758)
The offence of the Cross never has ceased, and never can cease. To suppose it to have ceased is folly. The religion of Jesus is most peaceful, mild and benevolent. Yet its history shows it to have been assailed with bitterest hate all along. It is clearly offensive to the unregenerate mind. There is no reason to believe that it is one jot more palatable to the world than it used to be. The world and the Gospel are both unchanged.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834−1892)
