Martin Luther said:
“only the Holy Spirit could take the Word
from the ear into the human heart.”
‘n Ou
Spoorwegman se bekering en gebed: ‘n Ou spoorwegman het by ‘n byeenkoms tot bekering gekom, en is gevra om te
bid. Hy het ‘n oomblik geaarsel en toe eerbiedig met ‘n bewende maar helder
stem gesê: “O, Here, noudat ek die vlag gestryk het, bid ek U:
·
neem my voete van die ruwe spoorbaan af en plaas hulle veilig bo-op die
trein van redding.
trein van redding.
·
Laat wysheid my handlamp wees en die Bybel my hooflig.
·
Laat die trein gekoppel wees met
die sterk skakel van liefde.
·
En, Hemelse Vader, hou alle wissels gesluit wat na sylyne
uitdraai, veral die wat
lei na ‘n doodloopspoor.
lei na ‘n doodloopspoor.
·
O, Here, as dit U wil is, laat elke sinjaal langs die lyne die witlig
van hoop
vertoon sodat ek die lewensreis kan aflê sonder om stil te hou.
vertoon sodat ek die lewensreis kan aflê sonder om stil te hou.
·
En, Here, laat
die tien gebooie my rooster wees.
·
En wanneer ek die reis volgens roostertyd afgelê het en
in die groot donker
stasie van die dood ingetrek het, mag die Superintendent van die heelal sê:
“Mooi so, goeie en getroue dienaar, kom teken die betaalstaat en ontvang
jou loon van ewige geluksaligheid.”

Chapter 10
EFFECTUAL CALLING 10.1 Those whom God1 has predestined to life,2 he is pleased (in his appointed and accepted time)3 to effectually call4 by his Word5 and Spirit.6 He calls them out of that state of sin and death in which they are by nature, to grace and salvation by Jesus Christ.7 He enlightens their minds spiritually and savingly to understand the things of God.8 He takes away their heart of stone, and gives to them a heart of flesh.9 He renews their wills, and by his almighty power causes them to do what is good.10 He effectually draws them to Jesus Christ,11 yet in such a way that they come completely freely, for they are made willing by his grace.12 (1) Rom 8:28-29 (2) Rom 8:29-30; 9:22-24; 1Co 1:26-28; 2Th 2:13-14; 2Ti 1:9 (3) Joh 3:8; Eph 1:11

It is not made because of any power or action in us,1 for we are altogether passive in it, we are dead in sins and trespasses until we are made alive and renewed by the Holy Spirit.2 By this [regeneration] we are enabled to answer this call, and to embrace the grace offered and conveyed in it, this power being none other than that which raised up Christ from the dead.3
