Prodigal: Just thinking today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: What about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from the book The Soul Winner by C.H. Spurgeon<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I ask you what was there in Paul, by the grace of God, that may not be in you? What did Jesus do for Paul more than He has done for you? He was divinely changed; so have you been changed if you have passed from darkness into marvelous light. He had much forgiven him; so have you also been freely pardoned. He was redeemed by the blood of the Son of God; so have you been–at least so you profess. He was filled with the Spirit of God; so are you, if you are truly such as your profession of Christianity makes you out to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owing your salvation to Christ, being debtors to the precious blood of Jesus, and being quickened by the Holy Spirit, why should you not bear the same fruit from the same sowing? Why not the same effect from the same cause? Do not tell me that the apostle was an exception and cannot be set up as a rule or model for more common folk, for I will have to tell you that we must be as Paul was if we hope to be where Paul is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David. Acts 13:34 (KJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
