Apart from God doing something in an unbeliever’s heart, don’t expect them to understand the message, applaud your efforts, agree with your logic or accept your Bible verses. It’s important to keep that in mind!

God speaks through a variety of means. In the present God primarily speaks by the Holy Spirit, through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the church.

Charles Babbage (1791-1871), pionnier de l'ordinateur moderne
Neuvième traité de Bridgewater : A Fragment, Charles Babbage. L'objectif de ce livre était de démontrer que la science confirme la foi chrétienne.
We take the highest and best of human faculties, and, exalting them in our imagination to an unlimited extent, endeavour to attain an imperfect conception of that Infinite Power which created everything around us.
Charles Babbage (1791-1871), pioneer of modern computer
Ninth Bridgewater Treatise: A Fragment, Charles Babbage. The purpose of this book was to demonstrate that science affirms the Christian faith

There is a proper role for what theologians call subjective guilt (how I feel). This feeling of remorse for wrong is a result of the Holy Spirit revealing our sin to our consciences (this we call “conviction”). However, amid our feelings of remorse we must remember that our objective guilt (the judgment that God imposes for our sin) has been entirely satisfied by Christ (Eph. 2:14-16; Col. 1:19-20).

1. L'amour de Dieu se déverse directement dans le cœur des personnes affligées qui s'en remettent à Lui dans l'espérance (Romains 5:3-5).
2. Dieu devient directement connu - "vu" - d'une manière inimaginable auparavant (Job 42:5).
3. Notre folie est révélée, afin que nous puissions recevoir une sagesse croissante directement de Dieu (Jacques 1:2-5).
4. Nous sommes refaits à l'image de Jésus, et établis dans l'amour de Dieu (Romains 8:29, dans le contexte de 8:18-39).
5. Nous apprenons à faire confiance et à obéir à Jésus, qui nous a précédés sur le chemin de la souffrance injuste et qui le parcourt maintenant avec nous (Hébreux 4:14-5:9 ; 12:1-11).
6. Nos désirs égocentriques sont révélés et notre foi est purifiée et simplifiée (1 Pierre 1:3-15).
David Powlison, Seeing With New Eyes, 2003, p. 102-103.
God acts first to strengthen sufferers internally. If you “suffer in a Godward direction,” He gives you hope. It is in the context of suffering that God strengthens hearts in many ways:
1. The love of God pours out directly into the hearts of afflicted persons who rely on Him in hope (Romans 5:3-5).
2. God becomes directly known – “seen” – in ways previously unimaginable (Job 42:5).
3. Our foolishness is revealed, so that we might receive growing wisdom directly from God (James 1:2-5).
4. We are remade into the image of Jesus, and established in the love of God (Romans 8:29, in the context of 8:18-39).
5. We learn to trust and obey Jesus, who walked the path of unjust suffering ahead of us and now walks it with us (Hebrews 4:14-5:9; 12:1-11).
6. Our self-centered cravings are revealed and our faith is purified and simplified (1 Peter 1:3-15).

P. J. SMITH, CITÉ DANS THE JESUS BOOK, 1978
The story of Christ crucified was kept alive by word of mouth in the early Christian churches and homes.It was not until the fifth and sixth centuries that the first crucifix appeared, and then, for a very long time, the figure of Christ on it was not Christ crucified but Christ risen from the dead.
P. J. SMITH, QUOTED IN THE JESUS BOOK, 1978
Kevin DeYoung
One of the great dangers with constant guilt: we learn to ignore our consciences. If we are truly sinning, we need to repent and implore the Lord to help us change. But if we aren’t sinning, if we are perhaps not as mature as we could be, or are not as disciplined as some believers, or we are making different choices that may be acceptable but not extraordinary, then we should not be made to feel guilty. Challenged, stirred, inspired, but not guilty.

John Piper
God has ordained that our preaching become deeper and more winsome as we are broken, humbled, and made low and desperately dependent on grace by the trials of our lives.

Hannah More
Did God not sometimes withhold in mercy what we ask, we should be ruined at our own request.

John MacDuff, The Throne of Grace, Alexander Strahan Publishers, 1865.
Children of God… will you not bear witness, that, through all your trials and troubles, the faithfulness of your Savior’s love has been the “very joy of your hearts?” You have had many crosses and losses – has He ever deserted you? You have been in severe afflictions, and have seen the flowers of many a “sweet hope” wither and decay – did your Friend desert you then? Others may have proved faithless – all other help may have failed you – friendship’s help, promised help, expected help – all, all may have been but as the foam upon the billow, as the footsteps in the sand – but, has Christ ever failed you? Could you, in the darkest and the saddest hour of your grief, say to Him? “Lord, You have promised what You did not perform.” Will you not bear witness concerning the past? – “Not one good thing has failed, of all that the Lord has promised – all has come to pass.”
John MacDuff, The Throne of Grace, Alexander Strahan Publishers, 1865.
Jonathan Edwards, The Glory and Honor of God.
How great an honor will it be to a person to have God at the day of judgment owning a person, declaring before all men, angels and devils that that person is before His all-seeing eyes and that he stands innocent and perfect in His sight, clothed with perfect righteousness and entitled to everlasting glory and blessedness. How honorable will this render them in the eyes of all that vast assembly that will be together at the day of judgment. That will be an infinitely greater honor than any man or any angel declaring that they judge him upright and sincere and that eternal life belongs to him. What can be a greater honor than this — to be owned by the great King and Lord of all things?
Jonathan Edwards, The Glory and Honor of God.

Christian patience is an active thing. It conveys the idea of positive endurance rather than quiet acceptance.

Matthew Henry
You have been used to take notice of the sayings of dying men. This is mine: that a life spent in the service of God, and communion with Him, is the most comfortable and pleasant life that anyone can live in this world.

A. W. Pink
The truth of God may well be likened to a narrow path skirted on either side by a dangerous and destructive precipice: in other words, it lies between two gulfs of error.
