This is a thought that desperately needs to be understood by pastors and evangelists today. The only way true change can be affected in a person is to change the heart, and the only One who can change the heart is God, through the preaching of His Gospel by the power of the Holy Spirit. This has far reaching implications. It seems many today are looking for ways to dress up the Gospel, to try to make the message more culturally relevant or what have you, but the message of the Gospel is the same, and it is the power of God unto to salvation for all those who believe.

So, the bottom line is, with this in mind, as communicators of the Gospel we must recognize that only God can change the heart. In Acts 16:14, Luke says that God opened the heart of Lydia to enable her to believe the message of the Gospel. This must happen every time. So, our structures don't save people. Our invitations don't save people, no matter how long we drag them out. Our sinner's prayers don't save people. Our clever speaking doesn't save people. We are desperately dependent on the power of God to rest upon our speaking.
