In my search for some new podcasts I checked out a bit of Alistair Begg at his radio ministry site, Truth for Life. And was really impressed with the message I listened to - One Thing. There were three points; one thing I know (John 9:25), one thing I do (Philippians 3), one thing I ask (Psalm 27:4)… it was the first point that struck me

One thing I know…

John 9:25 - One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!

Of all the things I know in life (not that much to be fair), surely this is the greatest - there was a time when I was blind, spiritually dead, but now I can see, now I’m alive!
Lloyd-Jones puts it like this…

“I am a Christian solely and entirely because of the grace of God and not because of anything that I have thought or said or done. He brought me to know that I was dead, “dead in trespasses and sins”, a slave to the world, and the flesh, and the devil, that in me “dwelleth no good thing”, and that I was under the wrath of God and heading for eternal punishment.
