The Impossible Gospel

Let me state the premise of this book. Scriptural truth is impossible for the fallen human mind to comprehend or understand. By one’s own intellect, human beings cannot grasp the truths contained in Scripture. Not only will you not understand, you will think it foolishness to varying degrees. Why? Scriptural truth, the Bible, which would also include the gospel message, can only be understood by the human mind and intellect through the miraculous work, and intervention of God’s Holy Spirit. It’s foolishness to the unbeliever (1 Cor. 1:18). If this is true, it has profound implications for us and to the church in our era…theo-logical implications.

Simply stated, faith does not come from human decision, choice, or human intellect. If this were the case, the wise people of this world would be smart enough to believe. It would be this group of people who would be saved. But we all know that's not what happens. That why Paul writes, 26 For consider your calling, brethren, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; 27 but God has chosen the foolish things of the world" (1 Cor. 1:26-27). I don't want to insult you...but God chooses the foolish ones. The church today must throw human decision, intellect, and choice away when it comes to salvation. Then only God receives the glory, and rightly so.
