The Gospel, though often rejected, holds a triumphant power that cannot be stopped. As the Scriptures declare, “Unto us who are called, both Jews and Greeks, it is the power of God and the wisdom of God” (1 Corinthians 1:24). Though many mock and dismiss it, God’s Word never fails. His promise stands firm: “My word shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please” (Isaiah 55:11).
Christ’s sacrifice will never be in vain. If some reject the Gospel, others will embrace it. Heaven will not be lessened by opposition or unbelief. For every soul that resists, there are others who are called and saved. This calling is not by human effort but by the work of God Himself.
The call of God is twofold. There is a general call, like a bell summoning everyone, and a special, personal call, meant only for His children. The general call goes out to all, but the special call is irresistible and effectual. When Jesus calls a person by name, as He did Mary and Zaccheus, the response is immediate and life-changing.
This special call breaks the hardest hearts and draws sinners to Christ. It is the power of God at work, transforming lives in ways no human persuasion could achieve. Have you heard His call? If so, it is His grace working in you, drawing you to salvation, and ensuring that His triumph is complete.
