He is, moreover, mighty to give men new hearts and to work faith in them.
He is mighty to make the man who hates holiness love it, and to constrain the despiser of His name to bend the knee before Him.
The bush burns,
but is not consumed.
Christ's might doth not lie in making a believer and then leaving him to shift for himself; but He who begins the good work carries it on; He who imparts the first germ of life in the dead soul, prolongs the divine existence, and strengthens it until it bursts asunder every bond of sin, and the soul leaps from earth, perfected in glory.
Q: Believer, does your own case trouble you?
A: Fear not, for His strength is sufficient for you. Whether to begin with others, or to carry on the work in you, Jesus is "mighty to save;" the best proof of which lies in the fact that He has saved you. What a thousand mercies that you have not found Him mighty to destroy!" Charles Spurgeon
