“You yourselves say, 'We won't come.' God says, 'You shall come.' Yes! There are some here who are laughing at salvation, who can scoff at Christ, and mock at the gospel; but I tell you some of you shal come yet. 'What!' you say. 'Can God make me become a Christian?' I tell you, yes, for herein rests the power of the gospel. It does not ask your consent; but it gets it. It does not say, will you have it? But it makes you willing in the day of God's power...The gospel wants not your consent, it gets it. It knocks the enmity out of your heart. You say, 'I do not want to be saved'; Christ says you shall be. He makes your will turn round, and then you cry, 'Lord save me or I perish.' Ah, might heaven exclaim, 'I knew I would make you say that!'”(Source: The Forgotten Spurgeon, by Iain Murray, or you can follow the links below to listen to this great book!)
