Godly Parents Cannot Convert Their Children

Godly parents cannot convert their children

(Mary Winslow, Life in Jesus“)

“We were born with an evil nature, andĀ we were under God’s wrath.ā€ Ephesians 2:3

“You must be born again.” John 3:7

Godly parents cannot convert their children.Ā God alone can do this. But they can lead themĀ to Jesus, and bring them up in the fear of theĀ Lord. And when they have done this, they haveĀ done all they can do; for the Holy Spirit aloneĀ can change the heart. They must be born again.Ā Christ has said it. It is not a change of sentiment,Ā nor an outward reformation of life; it is a newĀ heart implanted by the Holy Spirit.

“They are reborn! This is not a physical birthĀ resulting from human passion or plan—thisĀ rebirth comes from God.” John 1:13

Conversation In The Womb

Baby 1: And you, you believe in life after birth?

Baby 2: Absolutely. It’s obvious that life after birth exists. We are here to become stronger and to get ready for whatever awaits us next.

Baby 1: This is absurd. There is nothing after birth! What would life look like outside the womb!

Baby 2: Well, there are many stories about the other side. I’ve heard there is a blaze of light there, an intense and profound feeling of joy with deep emotions, thousands of things to live for… For example, I’ve heard that we’ll eat with our mouth there.

Baby 1: That’s silly. We have an umbilical cord and that is how we eat. Everyone knows that we don’t use our mouth to eat! And, on top of that, no one has ever come back from the other world. Those stories are all coming from naive people. Life just ends at birth. Period. That’s the way it is and we must accept it.

Baby 2: Alright, then allow me to think differently. That’s for sure, I have no idea what life after birth looks like, and I can’t prove anything to you. But I like to believe that in the next world, we’ll be able to see our mother and that she will take care of us.

Baby 1: ā€œMotherā€? You mean that you believe in ā€œMotherā€? Oh! So where is she?

Baby 2: Everywhere, don’t you see it! She is everywhere, all around us. We are part of her and it’s thanks to her that we are living right now. Without her, we wouldn’t be here.

Baby 1: This is ridiculous! I’ve never seen any mother so it’s obvious that she doesn’t exist.

Baby 2: I don’t agree. That’s your way of seeing things. Because sometimes when everything quiets down a little bit, we can hear her sing. We can feel her hugging our world! I’m pretty sure that our life will start after birth.

Faith Is Not A Matter Of Reason

Please click the metal quote logo so view many more quotes on iChristian

“Faith is not a matter of reason. Some people teach that it is. They say that if only men and women would use their minds, they would be bound to become Christians; they can reason themselves into Christianity. But that is thoroughly unscriptural. They cannot because the natural man or woman’s reason is also fallen. Not only that, there are supernatural and miraculous elements in faith to which reason cannot attain.”

D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, God The Holy Spirit
