======================================================================== GOD'S HEART IS SET ON THE SALVATION OF MEN AND WOMEN. by Andrew Murray ======================================================================== Summary: God's heart is set on the salvation of men and women, and He desires to transform His children's hearts to make the extension of the kingdom their absorbing passion. Topics: "Salvation", "Missionary Revival" Scripture References: Isaiah 61:1, Matthew 28:19-20, Luke 4:18, John 3:16, Acts 1:8, Romans 10:14-15, 2 Corinthians 12:9, Ephesians 3:20, 1 Thessalonians 5:24, 1 Peter 2:9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Andrew Murray emphasizes that God's heart is dedicated to the salvation of all people, demonstrated through the gift of His Son and Spirit. He encourages believers to become fellow-laborers in God's work, reminding them that His grace is sufficient for every command. Murray believes that a genuine missionary revival is achievable, as God desires to transform the hearts of His children to prioritize the kingdom of Christ. This revival, starting with believers, will lead to a powerful overflow of salvation and service to the unsaved. He calls for earnest prayer and commitment to this mission. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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.
