7/18/21 Morning Series: Meeting Jesus in Mark

Christ’s call to true faith and avoiding fake faith

Mark 3:13-19 & John 1:35-51

 

  1. The Holy Spirit prepares a person externally before true faith. John 1:35-42

 

*Circumstances

*Conversations

*Communications of the Gospel.

 

 

  1. Beware of “reversing your profession” or fake faith.

             

*Reversing your profession leads to greater darkness.

*Reversing your profession means you’ll be harder to convince.

*Reversing your profession means you were never converted. 

 

 

  1. The Holy Spirit must penetrate the heart internally for true faith. John 1:43-51

 

*The Spirit must open the heart to change before true faith is expressed.

 

*When the Holy Spirit has opened the heart, faith then comes.
