True Salvation

[Our Lord's God]

Wow, bold letters.

Lydia had her heart open THEN she heard what Paul had to say. (Did you like my big bold capatilized THEN ?)

What Paul said didn't open her heart...God did.

That's not what it says. Read it again.

14 A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, a worshiper of God, was listening and the Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul.

Symbolically speaking. Go with the Savior-God and not the wafer god.

It is not 'either/or' but 'both/and' that you should see

 

[CrowCross]

That's not what it says. Read it again.

The Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul....That's what the bible says. Otherwise she would not have the ability to respond to what Paul was saying.

 

[Our Lord's God]

You really aren't listening are you?

God opens hearts through the preaching of the Gospel. Now read it again:

A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, a worshiper of God, was listening and the Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul.

She was listening....God opened her heart....and she then responded.

You can preach the gospel to someone until you are blue in the face...and unless God opens their heart they won't get it.

 

[Our Lord's God]

She was listening....God opened her heart....and she then responded.

She was listening to the GOSPEL. As I said, God opens hearts through the preaching of the Gospel.

That's exactly what happened here.

You can preach the gospel to someone until you are blue in the face...and unless God opens their heart they won't get it.

Are you deaf?

God opens hearts through the preaching of the Gospel.
