‎Man can't discover God on his own; God must real Himself to man. ‎ ‎John 6:44 ‎No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.

Wow!

SALVATION IS OF THE LORD We are NOT good enough, neither are we capable of preserving ourselves from falling. We stand by the grace of God. JUDE 1:24 Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, Give Him ALL the praise! Amen!

Do not be anxious for nothing neither should you give up even when things don't seem to go your way. Understand that the personal triune God has created all things and has a plan for everything that happens and never leaves anything to chance. He is sovereign over all such that even a sparrow cannot fall to the ground apart from His will (Matt. 10:29). He works out all things, not just some things, according to the counsel of His will (Eph. 1:11).

Philipians 2 ‎ ‎12. Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, ‎13. for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. As much as we have to respond to salvation by bieving, Salvation is of the LORD". "for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Hi, I am pastor Muzamai from Zambia. I am happy being part of this community and hope to connect with like minded churches and ministers for the furthering of the gospel.

"What Does It Mean That the Natural Man Cannot Understand the Gospel? “The natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.” — 1 Corinthians 2:14 Some people think that when we say sinners are “dead in sin,” we mean they are incapable of understanding the words of the gospel. That is not quite right. In fact, that is not what we mean at all. Dead in sin does not mean intellectually unaware. It means the sinner cannot savor spiritual truth, take delight in it, or rejoice in it. The sinner can understand the words, the facts, and even the implications of the gospel. He can read a Bible tract, listen to a sermon, or hear a friend explain the good news about Jesus. But what he cannot understand, what he cannot truly see, is the beauty, the truth, and the excellency of Christ in it. He does not grasp why Jesus is good news. He does not treasure what is being offered. As Jesus said, "Seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand" (Matthew 13:13). Paul explains that the problem is not lack of information but lack of spiritual discernment. The gospel seems like foolishness to the natural man because he does not have the Holy Spirit. That phrase, "spiritually discerned," is crucial. It means that the truth can be heard with the ears but not received with the heart. The gospel does not just require comprehension. It requires spiritual sight, the ability to see Christ as desirable, trustworthy, and worthy of all. That is something no one has by nature. It is something only the Holy Spirit gives. The sinner’s condition is not like a man who wants to believe but cannot. It is more like someone who hates the offer and wants nothing to do with it. "You refuse to come to Me, that you may have life" (John 5:40). Why? "Because the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil" (John 3:19). That is why no one comes to Christ unless the Father draws them (John 6:44). As Scripture says, "The Lord opened {Lydia's} heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul" (Acts 16:14). Faith is not a natural response. It is something God must grant (John 6:65; Philippians 1:29; 2 Timothy 2:25). This is what it means to be dead in sin. Not brain-dead. Not unable to read or hear. But spiritually hardened, without affection for the things of God. That is why Paul says that even though the unbeliever knows God, "he suppresses the truth in unrighteousness" (Romans 1:18). He does not lack information. He lacks love for the truth. He knows that God exists and that He is holy, but he resents that holiness. He knows what God commands, but does not see it as good or life-giving. In other words, his problem is not cognitive. It is moral and spiritual. That is why we pray for unbelievers. That is why we ask the Spirit to open hearts. That is why we believe that salvation, from start to finish, is by grace. Because unless God gives new eyes, no one will ever see Jesus as their greatest need and treasure." https://www.monergism.com/reformation-theology/blog/what-does-it-mean-natural-man-cannot-understand-gospel#:~:text=Understand%20the%20Gospel%3F-,What%20Does%20It%20Mean%20That%20the%20Natural%20Man%20Cannot%20Understand%20the,As%20Jesus%20said%2C%20%22Seeing%20they%20do%20not%20see%2C,-and%20hearing%20they

In the New covenant, God initiates and does everything to make us His own and cause us to obey Him. He is sovereign in Salvation. Hebrew 10:16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds”,

THE COVENANT OF GRACE In the new covenant, unlike in the old where people are expected to strive to live according to the law, God Himself does everything in the new one. It is God that gives us a New Heart and causes us to “will” to obey Him. On our own, none can live according to God’s standard just like in the old covenant where they failed to follow it. Salvation is God’s initiative and He will keep those whom He has saved. Heb 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: Jer 32:40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. Eze 36:26 - 27 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
