💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: Being chosen by God is a profound honor and privilege; being chosen is NOT about personal merit but about God's sovereign grace and purpose. God's CHOSEN PEOPLE live a life of Holiness (being set apart from the world unto God), righteousness (living a life that is pleasing to the Lord in view of his Mercy), and faithfulness (demonstrating loyalty and steadfastness while trusting and relying on Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior). We will be looking at eight signs and marks when you are chosen by God for His good purposes and pleasure. John 6:44 cements the DIVINE truth when Jesus said that no one can come to Him UNLESS he is drawn by God the Father. It is God who does the wooing and the beckoning of the elect - not Man's Free Will! Also, we will be chopping down the mountain of unbelief and contention when it comes to God's plan of salvation. The debate rages on whether or not Man's Free Will has a hand in his "coming to the Lord" or was it already predetermined / ordained before the foundation of the world due to God's purpose and plan. The primary argument against Ephesians 1:5, which states God "predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ," revolves around the idea of whether God's choice is based on individual merit or is an unconditional and sovereign decision. Ephesians 1:5 will always be the point of contention for both sides. However, there should be there no contention over Predestination vs. Free Will! GOD IS SOVEREIGN AND HE HAS THE RIGHT AS ULTIMATE SUPREME CREATOR TO SHOW COMPASSION & MERCY ON ANYONE HE CHOOSES, AND HE HAS THE COMPLETE SOVEREIGNTY TO CHOOSE TO WHOM HE HARDENS! HIS SOVEREIGNTY SHOULD NOT EVEN BE ON TRIAL! Man's Free Will should have never been interjected and exerted in this regard! Man, in his unregenerated spirit and heart, will always contend the unfairness in God's predestination of the elect! Paul addressed this debate centuries ago in Romans 9 :
14 "What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? Certainly not! 15 For He says to Moses,👉🏾 “I will have mercy on whomever I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I have compassion.” 16 So then God’s choice is 👉🏾not dependent on human will, nor on human effort [the totality of human striving], but 👉🏾on God who shows mercy [to whomever He chooses—it is His sovereign gift]. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “I raised you up for this very purpose,👉🏾 to display My power in [dealing with] you, and so that My name would be proclaimed in all the earth.” 18 So then, He has mercy on 👉🏾whom He wills (chooses), and He hardens [the heart of] 👉🏾whom He wills.
19 You will say to me then, “Why does He still blame me [for sinning]?🤦🏾♀️ For who [including myself] has [ever] resisted His will and purpose?” 20 On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers [arrogantly] back 😤 to God and dares to defy Him? Will the thing which is formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” 21 Does the potter not have the right over the clay, to make from the same lump [of clay] one object for honorable use [something beautiful or distinctive] and another for common use [something ordinary or menial]? 22 What if God, 🤔 although willing to show His [terrible] wrath and to make His power known, has tolerated with great patience the objects of His wrath [which are] prepared for destruction? 23 And what if 🤔He has done so to make known the riches of His glory to the objects of His mercy, which He has prepared beforehand for glory 24 including us, whom He also called, not only from among the Jews, but also from among the Gentiles?"
Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
