Eternal Life Tracking Out God

You Must Seek Him

"It is essential that you seek Him as a real existence, and a true person, believing that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. It is all in vain to seek sacraments, you must seek Him: it is idle to go through forms of prayer, or to utter customary phrases of devotion, you must seek Him. Your salvation lies in God, sinner, and your seeking must be after God.

Do you understand this? It is not going to your priest or to your clergyman, or to your Bible or to your Prayer-book, or even to your knees in formal prayer; but you must draw near to God in Jesus Christ, and He must be found of you as a man finds a treasure and takes it to be his own."

-Spurgeon

Paul Washer shares some of the background behind the "Shocking Youth Message" which has been viewed well over a million times and has greatly impacted a large number of people around the world.

Here's the "Shocking Youth Message" being referred to:

Here I Stand

"In the late afternoon of April 18, 1521, in the city of Worms, Germany, Martin Luther, a 37 year-old Catholic monk was called to defend himself before Charles the Fifth, the Holy Roman Emperor. The speech he delivered that day, Here I Stand, marked the beginning of the Reformation, a critical turning point in Christian history, that decisively altered the spiritual map of the world."(1)

"At the beginning of his classic Institutes of the Christian Religion, John Calvin heads his very first paragraph thus: “Without knowledge of self there is no knowledge of God”.

This observation is strikingly true, and if one would take the time to discuss the gospel in depth with the definite majority of American citizens living today, he would doubtless find that the one great obstacle preventing them from prizing and embracing the gospel of God's grace is a faulty view of self.

The gospel is not for people who are basically pretty good, but just need to believe in themselves, build up their self-esteem, and pick themselves up by their bootstraps. If there is one problem that consistently hinders my attempts at gospel-witnessing, it is that. Oh, for a tool that would give the true picture of man in his sin and helplessness, and so pave the way for a true picture of God in his holy justice and limitless grace! Paul David Washer's biblical study, The Truth About Man, is just that tool, and I enthusiastically recommend it..."
