Harmony Baptist Church of Waynesville, MO

When Jesus calls you to salvation, he also creates in you the faith and the desire to follow him. That doesn't mean that you aren't going to sin. It doesn't mean you're not gonna make mistakes. It simply means that your desire for him is greater than your desire for sin. And no matter what anyone tells you, you can't create that desire on your own. Something outside of this man's will had to act upon him to make him able to pick up his mat and walk home. He could not will himself to do that. Something outside of us has to make us want fellowship with god, and that something in both cases has to be Jesus.
