Power to Transform
The incredible thing about God's promise of eternal life is that He backs it up with His Holy Spirit to show us that He means what He says. Just as you could prove the reality of electricity by experiencing an electric shock, so God's promises carry a punch with them. If you refuse to believe in electricity, put a fork in an electrical outlet. Suddenly you will become a believer, because you have experienced the power. The Bible tells us that when the Gospel is preached, it comes "in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance."(1 Thessalonians 1:5) What a joy it is to see that power transform someone and make him or her a brand new creature. God has a way of turning men like Saul of Tarsus into men like the Apostle Paul, who live only to reach the lost. We need more like that. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
