I had an “aha” moment as I read a chapter from JI Packer’s “Knowing God“.
Salvation comes, not as someone comes to “accept Christ”, but rather as someone comes to be accepted by Him.
This turns on its head a lot of our evangelism training by showing our need for being accepted, rather than being in a position to accept Him.
That may not seem like much to you, but it was eye-opening to me just now.
