By My Spirit

In Zechariah 4:6 we read, “Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord.”  The work that God does in saving souls is not accomplished by things or people who seem powerful to the world,  The work of God, saving people, is done by the Spirit of God.  It begins with a believer praying to God through Jesus Christ for a lost person.  The Holy Spirit does His work of convicting the lost person of sin, righteousness and judgment.  When the unsaved person feels guilty enough, someone speaks the Word of the gospel of Jesus Christ to them.  Someone tells the lost person that Jesus died for our sins and rose again from the dead.  When the unsaved person believes this, they are saved.  Jesus Christ comes into their life and gives them eternal life, a home in Heaven when they die and love, joy an peace now in this life.  Salvation is a work of God.  He  plants the seed and gives it life.  We are just midwives in the birthing process.   Salvation is by grace through faith and that not of ourselves.  It is the gift of God, not of works. lest any man should boast.   Think about it!!!
