We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Altar call evangelism rarely produces lasting fruit. While the initial statistics are often impressive, the numbers of those who bear the biblical marks of regeneration are usually minute in comparison. D. A. Carson calls attention to this disturbing pattern in his book, A Call for Spiritual Reformation: “To what extent do those who profess faith at world-class evangelistic meetings actually persevere, over a period of five years from their initial profession of faith? When careful studies have been undertaken, the most commonly agreed range is 2 percent to 4 percent; that is, between 2 percent and 4 percent of those who make a profession of faith at such meetings are actually persevering in the faith five years later, as measured by such external criteria as attendance at church, regular Bible reading, or the like” (Baker, 1992, p. 24).

One of the surest tests to apply to the professed conversion is the heart's attitude towards sin. Where the principle of holiness has been planted, there will necessarily be a loathing of all that is unholy. If our hatred of evil be genuine, we are thankful when the Word reproves even the evil which we suspected not.

16:1 et cum transisset sabbatum Maria Magdalene et Maria Iacobi et Salome emerunt aromata ut venientes unguerent eum

16:2 et valde mane una sabbatorum veniunt ad monumentum orto iam sole

16:3 et dicebant ad invicem quis revolvet nobis lapidem ab ostio monumenti

16:4 et respicientes vident revolutum lapidem erat quippe magnus valde

16:5 et introeuntes in monumento viderunt iuvenem sedentem in dextris coopertum stola candida et obstipuerunt

16:6 qui dicit illis nolite expavescere Iesum quaeritis Nazarenum crucifixum surrexit non est hic ecce locus ubi posuerunt eum

16:7 sed ite et dicite discipulis eius et Petro quia praecedit vos in Galilaeam ibi eum videbitis sicut dixit vobis

16:8 at illae exeuntes fugerunt de monumento invaserat enim eas tremor et pavor et nemini quicquam dixerunt timebant enim

16:9 surgens autem mane prima sabbati apparuit primo Mariae Magdalenae de qua eiecerat septem daemonia

16:10 illa vadens nuntiavit his qui cum eo fuerant lugentibus et flentibus

16:11 et illi audientes quia viveret et visus esset ab ea non crediderunt

16:12 post haec autem duobus ex eis ambulantibus ostensus est in alia effigie euntibus in villam

16:13 et illi euntes nuntiaverunt ceteris nec illis crediderunt

16:14 novissime recumbentibus illis undecim apparuit et exprobravit incredulitatem illorum et duritiam cordis quia his qui viderant eum resurrexisse non crediderant

16:15 et dixit eis euntes in mundum universum praedicate evangelium omni creaturae

16:16 qui crediderit et baptizatus fuerit salvus erit qui vero non crediderit condemnabitur

16:17 signa autem eos qui crediderint haec sequentur in nomine meo daemonia eicient linguis loquentur novis

16:18 serpentes tollent et si mortiferum quid biberint non eos nocebit super aegrotos manus inponent et bene habebunt

16:19 et Dominus quidem postquam locutus est eis adsumptus est in caelum et sedit a dextris Dei
