DAILY TRUTH - The Unstoppable Power of the Grace of God

# theological testimony spiritual fear spiritual conversion amazing grace biblical faithfulness daily truth divine condemnation divine grace effectual call gods holiness jesus john newton

Daily Truth host explores the "Unstoppable Power of the Grace of God," contrasting common testimonies of immediate happiness with John Newton's insight that grace first teaches the heart to fear its own condemnation. By explaining how the Spirit makes an effectual call, revealing humanity as a wretch under just wrath before leading to the cross, the segment reframes spiritual misery not as cruelty but as the necessary precursor to relief. Ultimately, this profound awareness of guilt serves as the true foundation for experiencing genuine salvation and divine grace. [Automatically generated summary]

	Hey guys, real quick before we get started, I have a small request.

	This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
	Thanks.
	Jesus said, Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
	You're listening to Daily Truth.
	When a person is being saved, before they're saved, as an unbeliever, the Spirit begins to draw.
	There's the effectual call to salvation before regeneration, faith, and repentance.
	The call of the Spirit, effectual drawing.
	In this drawing, a person becomes profoundly aware that God is holy and that they're a wretch and that they are a dead man walking underneath his just condemnation.
	And this fear begins to drive them to the cross.
	And this fear is not cruel, it's not mean spirited, it's grace.
	Remember Amazing Grace by John Newton?
	You could probably recite it by heart, but most people professing Christ today don't even have a clue what it actually means.
	Remember the line, 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved.' How many people is this their testament?
	Not just.
	Grace made me happy and gave me purpose.
	That's most people's testimony.
	Or even worse than that, grace helped me to be more successful and healthy and wealthy and wise.
	Right?
	No, grace, not the cruelty of God, grace of God, his grace, his love, his mercy made me miserable and taught my heart to fear, made me recognize that I was a condemned sinner underneath his just wrath, that I was a dead man walking.
	It made me realize my guilt.
	But then grace led me to the cross where eventually those fears were relieved.
Grace Led Me To The Cross 00:00:16
	Thanks so much for listening.

Effectual Call Before Regeneration 00:02:21

Hey guys, real quick before we get started, I have a small request.

Thanks.

Jesus said, Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

You're listening to Daily Truth.

When a person is being saved, before they're saved, as an unbeliever, the Spirit begins to draw.

There's the effectual call to salvation before regeneration, faith, and repentance.

The call of the Spirit, effectual drawing.

In this drawing, a person becomes profoundly aware that God is holy and that they're a wretch and that they are a dead man walking underneath his just condemnation.

And this fear begins to drive them to the cross.

And this fear is not cruel, it's not mean spirited, it's grace.

Remember Amazing Grace by John Newton?

You could probably recite it by heart, but most people professing Christ today don't even have a clue what it actually means.

Remember the line, 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved.' How many people is this their testament?

Not just.

Grace made me happy and gave me purpose.

That's most people's testimony.

Or even worse than that, grace helped me to be more successful and healthy and wealthy and wise.

Right?

No, grace, not the cruelty of God, grace of God, his grace, his love, his mercy made me miserable and taught my heart to fear, made me recognize that I was a condemned sinner underneath his just wrath, that I was a dead man walking.

It made me realize my guilt.

But then grace led me to the cross where eventually those fears were relieved.
