For Catholics, Jesus sits and helplessly waits. For Christians, He is beating at the door and welcomed IN.
Catholics know the mystery of faith, the snake handlers and Harold Campings know everything!
God draws us, convicts us through the Holy Spirit of sin, righteousness, and judgment, set the times and places we should live so that we can most easily seek Him, commands all men everywhere to repent, works in us to will and to do according to His good pleasure, prepared in advance good works for us to do, strengthens us, has raised us up and seated us in the heavenly places, gives us the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him so that the eyes of our hearts be enlightened, strengthens us with power through his Spirit in our inner being, so that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith, has made us alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands setting it aside, nailing it to the cross.
Doesn’t sound like a God who sits back passively and waits for US to do something.
