The Spirit alone opens the eyes and softens the hearts. In an unregenerate state, man will always grasp for the realm of the absurd to substantiate reality, yet his concsience bears witness that God alone can do this. The latter is hard to accept in an unregenerate state because it requires submission, the very thing the hard heart detests.
Therefore, let us rejoice when anyone comes to know the Lord! It is truly impossible without the work of the Spirit regenerating the heart (John 3). With this in mind, as beleivers let us not become bitter cynics when our circumstances become difficult, for freedom in Christ will always surpass the trials we face in this life.
To Him be the glory! Amen!
