Listen "After ye were illuminated - a call to remembrance."
Episode Synopsis
But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions; (Hebrews 10:32) *1/ A call to remembrance - "Former days" 2/ When ye were illuminated. 3/ What followed the illumination - "A great fight of afflictions."* **Sermon Summary:** The sermon centers on the call to remember the transformative moment of spiritual illumination—when God's light pierced the darkness of the heart, revealing both the depth of sin and the grace of Christ—drawing believers back to the foundational experience of conversion. Rooted in Hebrews 10:32, it emphasizes that true faith is marked not only by initial revelation but by a lasting effect: a life changed, marked by affliction, separation from worldly ways, and faithful fellowship with God's people. The Holy Spirit, described as the Remembrancer, renews this memory not for guilt but for encouragement, reinforcing assurance and combating spiritual complacency. The passage warns against wilful apostasy while affirming that genuine believers, though tempted, do not despise the blood of the covenant or the Spirit's work, and thus are called to recall their past faithfulness under light given, as a source of strength and renewal.
