SUPERNATURAL GRACE: GOD WORKS THE MIRACLE

“…He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to my Father” (JOHN 14:12)

I don’t mind telling you that it is my earnest faith that all that is worthwhile in Christianity is a miracle!

 

The trappings and paraphernalia and outward dressings of Christianity are unnecessary—we could get along nicely without them.

 

But there is a series of miracles, throbbing and beating within the divine message of God, and within the hearts of those who believe truly—and that’s about all there is to the Christian faith.

 

When Peter wrote that God “according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,” he arrived at a major miracle of the New Testament.

 

Peter was witnessing about a major miracle, that is, being born again—begotten again! Supernatural grace has been the teaching of the Christian Church from Pentecost to the present hour.

 

It is sad that some men are being forced from their pulpits because they have insisted upon preaching the supernatural quality of the acts of God. We stand with them in the belief that pure religion is a continuing perpetuation of a major miracle, and we cannot settle for just the mental quality of things.

 

The new birth is the creating of a new man in the heart, where another man has been. It is the putting of a new man in the old man’s place, and we are born anew! It is a vital and unique work of God in human nature.
