Todays Message DEPRAVED MAN AND MIRACLES Text: 2 Timothy 3:8 Miracles alone can not produce saving faith. The great deciever of souls gives power to perform signs and wonders for the purpose of deception. Egypt magicians were able to a certain degree, to duplicate the miracles of Moses. The magicians who withstood Moses are named by Paul as Jannes and Jambres, men of corrupt mind, reprobates concerning the faith who resist the truth. A counterfeit miracle is a lying wonder and sign 2These. 2:9. Its object is to teach and accredit a lie. Thus Jannes and Jambres imitated, as far as possible the miracles of Moses. Just as these deceivers withstood Moses, so do the self- loving and pleasure - seeking professors of Christianity resist the truth. They would not think of being without a form of godliness because this is the best way to cover their deception. But now Paul warns against such false a apostles in 2 Cor. 11:13-14, that they are deceitful workers transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ, for Satan himself transformed into an angel of light. The mere fact that a preacher works wonders and signs is not a clear proof that he is from God. The professing Christendom is filled with people like Nicodemus, whose source of conviction is in the works of Jesus Christ thus wonders in John 3:2. Such conviction stops short of the Lord's blessed person. Satan's greatest work is performed in the realm of religion. Satan magnifys scriptures that are related to the physical because he knows what the carnal minds desire, for he wants nothing to do with Christ. In Mark 1:24, the scriptures teach that people are deceived not only in the presence of the Lord with Bibles in their hands, but they also call Jesus Christ, Lord. And this is want the unclean spirits could prophecy about Jesus, though they were not interested in Him at all. But why can't we became a ware of this cahoter and verse in Matthew 7:21-23. Oh!! sorry for we who believe in the doctrine of signs and wonder learn from this. Therefore in conclusion, depraved man must look not to miracles but to the grace of God for saving faith. Eph. 2:8 " For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, but it is the gift of God. The faith we have to believe the gospel is deposited in us by God Himself. For no one can come to Jesus unless the (Father) God, draws him or her. Miracles and wonders can not draw one to Jesus. Have a wonderful Sunday. God bless you all.
