God’s heart is set on the salvation of men and women – Andrew Murray
God’s heart is set on the salvation of men and women; the gift of his Son and Spirit is the proof of it. God’s heart is set upon making us fellow-labourers, sharers in the glory and blessedness of his work. For every command the promise holds good: My grace is sufficient for thee. To the last great command, every creature, obedience is possible. Do let us believe that a missionary revival is possible. God is able. God longs so to transform the hearts of his children that the kingdom of Christ shall be the absorbing passion of their lives.
He will do it for those who cry to him for it. As he does this others will be
wakened and blessed too. And instead of, as in most revivals, the
conversion of sinners only bringing a temporary warmth and rousing,
without leading them into the life of full consecration, the revival that
begins with God’s children, and aims at nothing less than leading them
each to make the extension of the kingdom the one object and joy of their
existence, will soon overflow on the unsaved at home and abroad, and the
new birth will bring them into an atmosphere of health and service in the
power of the Spirit. Such a revival is possible.
