The NXR Podcast - DAILY TRUTH - The Unstoppable Power of the Grace of God

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request.

00:00:03.340 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,

00:00:06.440 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?

00:00:09.760 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do

00:00:12.880 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.

00:00:17.540 Thanks.

00:00:19.700 Jesus said,

00:00:20.800 Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

00:00:25.440 You're listening to Daily Truth.

00:00:30.000 When a person is being saved, before they're saved, as an unbeliever, the Spirit begins to draw.

00:00:38.360 There's the effectual call to salvation.

00:00:41.060 Before regeneration, faith, and repentance, the call of the Spirit, effectual drawing.

00:00:47.060 In this drawing, a person becomes profoundly aware that God is holy and that they're a wretch

00:00:57.220 and that they are a dead man walking underneath his just condemnation.

00:01:03.980 And this fear begins to drive them to the cross.

00:01:07.520 And this fear is not cruel, it's not mean-spirited, it's grace.

00:01:14.280 Remember Amazing Grace by John Newton?

00:01:16.800 You can probably recite it by heart, but most people professing Christ today

00:01:20.060 don't even have a clue what it actually means.

00:01:23.200 Remember the line?

00:01:23.920 towards grace that taught my heart to fear

00:01:27.620 and grace my fears relieved.

00:01:32.880 How many people is this their testimony?

00:01:36.840 Not just grace made me happy and gave me purpose.

00:01:39.960 That's most people's testimony.

00:01:41.940 Or even worse than that,

00:01:43.380 grace helped me to be more successful

00:01:45.140 and healthy and wealthy and wise.

00:01:48.740 Right?

00:01:49.100 No, grace, not the cruelty of God.

00:01:53.920 grace of God, his grace, his love, his mercy made me miserable and taught my heart to fear.

00:02:01.980 Made me recognize that I was a condemned sinner underneath his just wrath, that I was a dead man

00:02:09.260 walking. It made me realize my guilt. But then grace led me to the cross where eventually those

00:02:20.040 fears were relieved. Thanks so much for listening, but real quick, before you go, do us a small

00:02:25.260 favor, take a moment, and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the show. This is undoubtedly

00:02:30.960 the best way that you can help us get this biblically faithful content to as many people

00:02:36.320 as possible. Thanks so much.
