I know a sinner must have a will in the matter too. It is absurdity to speak of a sinner loving, believing etc against his will. The sinner must will beyond doubt. But in what state do we find his will at present? We find it is wholly set against Gods truth. Every will since the fall is wholly opposed to God and his word. Man needs no foreign influence, no external power to make him reject the truth, he willingly rejects it. It is his nature. When a sinner then comes to receive the truth, how is it accomplished? Does he renew himself? Does he change the enmity of his will? Does he of himself bend back his own will into the opposite direction? Does he, by the word of his power cause the current that has been flowing downhill to change its course and flow upwards? Does his own will originate the change in itself and carry the change into that effect? Impossible! The current would have flowed downward forever had it not been arrested in its courses by something stronger than itself. The sinners will would have remained forever in depravity and bondage had not another will, far mightier than it self coming into contact with it and altered both its nature and course, working in the sinner to will and to do His pleasure. Was the sinner willing before this other Will met his? No! Was he willing after? Yes! Then, is it not plain that it was Gods will meeting and changing the sinners will that made the difference? Thy People shall be willing in the day of thy power Kisenyi Robert Grace Pr Michael David Kyazze
