God’s Narrowness

Let us again muse from James 1:18a and our Encounter With Theology on the road to blessings. Our Encounter today will take us through God’s narrowness. I lay before us that His narrowness is infinite in its birthing. James tells us of His own will begot He us. The human will is never in question but only the divine will. Our human will is dead when it comes to spiritual things because the natural man receiveth not the things of God. This puts an end to ‘I have decided to follow Jesus’ because dead people can’t decide. It puts and end to ‘Rescue the Perishing’ Dead people are not perishing but they are dead and in need of life. Paul said in Romans 9 ‘For he sayeth to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy and I will have compassion on whom I will, so then it is not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth but of God that showeth mercy’. God does not stand with hat in hand, awaiting our acceptance of Him but the sinner is bowed low, trembling, awaiting God’s acceptance of us.
