Born, Not Taught 5/31 Tuesday Truth

Every spiritual thing outside of Christ is dead.  Let us underscore this well.  Some brothers and sisters are inwardly wondering: "How strange that another person believes God and his prayer is answered, while I too believe and yet am not heard.  Why is God gracious to him and not to me?"  They seem to charge God with partiality, not realizing that what they believe is but a thing, and therefore dead.  Neither formula nor method works;  only Christ is living.  Even if one has learned a whole set of methods, he is not therefore educated to be a Christian, because God's children must be born, not taught.

--Watchman Nee
