=== Effectual Call Before Regeneration (02:21) ===

[00:00:00]  Hey guys, real quick before we get started, I have a small request.
[00:00:03]  If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show, would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five star review?
[00:00:09]  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.
[00:00:17]  Thanks.
[00:00:19]  Jesus said, Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
[00:00:25]  You're listening to Daily Truth.
[00:00:32]  When a person is being saved, before they're saved, as an unbeliever, the Spirit begins to draw.
[00:00:38]  There's the effectual call to salvation before regeneration, faith, and repentance.
[00:00:44]  The call of the Spirit, effectual drawing.
[00:00:47]  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.
[00:01:04]  And this fear begins to drive them to the cross.
[00:01:07]  And this fear is not cruel, it's not mean spirited, it's grace.
[00:01:14]  Remember Amazing Grace by John Newton?
[00:01:16]  You could probably recite it by heart, but most people professing Christ today don't even have a clue what it actually means.
[00:01:23]  Remember the line, 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved.' How many people is this their testament?
[00:01:37]  Not just.
[00:01:38]  Grace made me happy and gave me purpose.
[00:01:39]  That's most people's testimony.
[00:01:42]  Or even worse than that, grace helped me to be more successful and healthy and wealthy and wise.
[00:01:48]  Right?
[00:01:49]  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.
[00:02:10]  It made me realize my guilt.
[00:02:16]  But then grace led me to the cross where eventually those fears were relieved.
