Tim Keller sermons via Gospel in Life: The book of Acts tells us when Christianity was at its most vital and most potent it grew through conversion. In other words, Christianity was not originally a set of doctrines or practices one took up, but it was a converting power. This case study of Cornelius the Centurion teaches us four things about Christian conversion. 1) Conversion comes through God’s initiative. 2) Conversion is not a call to morality and religion; it is a challenge to morality and religion. 3) Conversion happens by the transformation of the Holy Spirit. 4) Conversion comes through the words of the gospel.
This sermon was preached by Rev. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 30, 2003.

I see it. It’s approval from people. It’s always been approval from people. And I don’t know how to stop except just crying out to God to deliver me to Jesus’ love. And in that, I have no control over when or how He does it. And the surface sins will just morph into something else if they’re “cleansed” by me.

What gives us the assurance that the Gospels are reliable? How can we be sure that the witnesses did neither invent their accounts nor suffer from mental disorders or from some kind of hallucinations? What actually proves that Jesus had died on the cross and not somehow survived the crucifixion? Finally, what type of body did he have when his disciples saw him after his alleged resurrection? I would appreciate your comment on all these points! Thank you.

@benjaminho1410 3 ай бұрын

I think Ps Keller shouldn't haved used the term "convert" with the plain meaning of "change" and the theological/ religious category so interchangeably only at the end of the sermon. It can be very confusing. Also, the interpretation of the passage seems a bit too superficial, which seems uncharacteristic of his other sermons.

Jesus's no footloose as uniquely to declare - I'm The Way, Spiritual Truth and Eternal Life - and meddle with all other traditions alike if Lord's prayer in comparison for instance. Yet its one's Faith alone opens the door to God's in turn Christ's words above?! Nicodemus faced Who's firstly born as Where's a howling wind to strike, another Centurion knew Who's that Commander in Chief to have passed the order healed his servant, hence I think Election from God's choice isn't man to theorize over Devil's holdings unless he is taking place of Christ's...

So Right approach to inaccessible God's to emulate these Fine people of Faith's across Religions or status.
