[TruthTalk] thinking out loud

[Judy Taylor]

JD And so it is,  that man (in Romans chapter 1) sees the creation as a witness of God just as surely as God is at work within him  both to will and to accomplish His pleasure.   It is all about God.   We can either attach ourselves to this reality and inherit life or we can refuse the only reality that is and die.   What a choice !!   We have no power to attach ourselves to anything JD, we can only come to Christ one way and this is by being drawn by the Father through the Spirit by the Word and it is the "engrafted Word" which is able to save the soul as we choose to walk in it.    In Romans 1:18,19 - Yes men can know by the creation that there is a God, but when they don't glorify Him as God and hold the truth in unrighteousness - their foolish hearts are darkened.  So where would you get the idea that God is at work in those who have never surrendered to Christ?  These people have a different spirit at work in them (See Ephesians 2:1,2) which is  the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience. At least this is what God says about it.
