Hindrance

Understanding of Salvation

I don’t understand electricity but I’m no fool-I’m not going to sit around in the dark till I do. I don’t understand the thermodynamics of internal combustion and the hydraulics of an automatic transmission either but I’m no fool-I’m not going to stay in one place until I do. The truth is that I don’t understand a great deal of the things that are part of my everyday life but I make them a part of my life anyway.

The same is true of salvation. No one will fully understand how God could become man how he could die how his death could be the basis for our forgiveness how he could give you and me a new life and all of the other aspects of salvation. But only a fool would ignore such a great opportunity just because he didn’t understand it.── Michael P. Green《Illustrations for Biblical Preaching》
