GOD’S DIVINE OPPORTUNITY
ACTS 2
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,[b] 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”
In every age, God has used new openings to spread his word, in NT times, the Romans built good roads, so the gospel could go forth.
During the reformation, the Lord used the printing press to get the word of God printed and available to more people.
Recently, the Lord has used the internet, to spread the gospel, but there still remains the problem of language.
Hundreds of Languages are without the scriptures in their own language, bible translation is costly and time consuming.
But now God has opened the opportunity of AI, what can this do to help the gospel?
Now the bible can be translated into many languages, many Christians today are nervous and frightened about AI, they will tell you it is dangerous, self-drive cars etc, that these things are truly terrible.
But God uses every opportunity to further his gospel, Jesus said this in Matthew 24:
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; andthen shall theendcome.
God uses human inventions to further his gospel, he has everything in his hand, he used craftsman in the time of the Exodus to create the Ark of the covenant.
Now he is giving us, this opportunity to reach out with the gospel using AI.
So the next time, you hear about AI, don’t be frightened of it, this is a divine opportunity.
Sermonaudio.com, now has a facility where all the sermons posted on there, can be translated into multiple languages, they have translated thousands of Sermons by Spurgeon into languages such as Chinese, what would Spurgeon have thought of that?
Look at what the people said in Acts 2:
6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language?
How can people hear?
How can people come to faith?
So then faithcomethbyhearing, and hearingby the word of God.
What can the word of God do?
Hebrews 4
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and
We should not be frightened of AI, we should be saying:
Thisisthe Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.
God bless you
