WHAT ARE THE SIGNS IN OUR LIFE THAT GOD IS AWAKENING US TO BE SAVED?

JOHN BUNYAN, WHO WROTE PILGRIM’S PROGRESS, USES HIS ALLEGORICAL CHARACTER HOPEFUL TO GIVE US ONE OF THE MOST ACCURATE DESCRIPTION, OF WHAT IT IS LIKE FOR ONE OF GOD’S ELECT TO BE SAVED: THAT IS, THE DEEP AND HEART MOVING CONVICTION OF SIN, NOT ONLY OF OUR ACTS OF SIN AND OUR SIN OF SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS, BUT ALSO THAT OUR ORIGINAL SIN IS SIN AND THIS FACT ALONE CONDEMNS US TO HELL, LEAVING US WITH ONLY ONE OPTION, A DESPERATE DESIRE TO FLEE BY FAITH TO THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF A MAN THAT NEVER SINNED, COUPLED WITH A DESIRE THAT THIS MAN WOULD BE REVEALED TO US. THIS MESSAGE CONTAINS A COMPREHENSIVE PORTRAYAL, IN VARYING DEGREES OF WHAT ALL OF US NATURAL MAN AMERICANS WILL EXPERIENCE IN BEING SAVED. IT IS NO ACCIDENT, THAT IT SAID THAT JOHN BUNYAN’S PILGRIM’S PROGRESS WRITTEN IN 1678, HAS NEVER BEEN OUT OF PRINT AND IS ALSO SAID TO BE THE 2ND MOST READ CHRISTIAN BOOK IN THE WORLD.
