"DECISION for Christ." We hear a lot about it, don't we? The common thought is that a spiritually dead sinner simply "makes a decision for Christ," a DECISION of his or her will, to "take Christ as Saviour." And then they are told that this is salvation. A farce! A lie! A religious deception!
SALVATION never comes to the human heart apart from a direct movement of the Holy Spirit upon the dead spirit of the fallen sinner. Salvation comes when God FIRST makes the sinner alive to his state by nature and gives that sinner a desire to know Christ and to know GOD. Then God brings the newly-awakened sinner along the way of grace where the Holy Spirit is teaching that sinner what SALVATION REALLY IS. You cannot know SALVATION until God reveals it to you; you will never know the Saviour by a mere act of your natural will.
"SALVATION IS OF THE LORD" Jonah 2, verse 9. But there is a TRUE SENSE in which a sinner does "make a decision," in fact in coming to Christ and in living for Christ there will be many decisions that have to be made along the way.
