the POWER of God unto Salvation

One of my favorite quotes is "Salvation is not so easy a caveman could do it. Salvation is so difficult that only GOD can do it." That is how we view salvation now...easy. It is very easy for God, but impossible with man.

The Power of Regeneration. Ezekiel 36:26 shows us this power. Scripture says we have a stony heart and unable to respond to God. We have the responsibilty but not the ability. We are powerless, helpless...we are dead. We have a stony heart that is unresponsive to the things of God.

We can see the awesome power of God displayed in salvation. Salvation is of the Lord! He takes out the heart of stone and gives us a heart of flesh...one that responds to Him. God does the impossible...gives us a new heart. We have no ability on our own to create within us a new heart that is responsive to God. Unless God intervenes, we are doomed!

Ezekiel 36:26
"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will take away the stony heart of your flesh and I will give you a heart of flesh."

Notice who does it...It's all God. I will create the miracle within you! I will bring you from death unto life!! Praise God for His power that what is impossible with man is possible with God!

If someone were miracously raised from the dead, we would just be awe struck with that kind of power or that miracle that we have just witnessed...it's the same with salvation. If you are saved, you have been raised from the dead! God has done it! God has done a miracle in your heart and raised you from death unto life, given you a heart of flesh...He has done it with HIS POWER!! Glory to God alone!!
