💥 Join me today on the podcast as I exhort: God is Sovereign! Who are we, mere mortals/the clay, to question how He (the Potter) handles His plan of salvation, especially to whom He chooses to shows mercy and compassion to? Romans chapter 9 will be an eye- opener for us! Lord Jesus made a very simple statement in John 6:44 , "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day." IT IS NOT POSSIBLE OF ONE'S FREE WILL TO JUST COME TO JESUS. THEY MUST BE DRAWN BY THE FATHER! IT IS TO THE FATHER'S GLORY THAT WE COME WHEN HE CALLS!


We must understand, Predestination /Election is part of God’s decree, His eternal purpose in which He has decided all that will take place, ordaining everything for the manifestation of His glory from the foundation of the world. Simply put, the doctrine of election is that God chooses/determines / elects / predestines who will be saved.


Many don't want to touch this topic because its debate has caused division and strife among believers and caused churches to split. For the most part, many don't want to be labeled as "Calvinists." Therefore, people might conclude that it is a doctrine best avoided. While there are numerous ideas of precisely what election means regarding salvation, the fact that believers are elect is indisputable!!!


The debate rages on! Let's get some biblical understanding: The idea of a person WANTING to be saved, but being unable to - due to not being one of the elect, is ABSOLUTELY foreign to the Bible. LET US ALL BE CLEAR: No one seeks after God’s plan of salvation on his own accord (Romans 3:10-18) - FREE WILL HAS NO PLACE IN THIS. Those without Christ are blind to their need for salvation (2 Corinthians 4:4). This only changes when God begins drawing a person to Himself. It is God who opens eyes and enlightens minds to the need for Jesus Christ as Savior. A person CANNOT repent (change the mind about sin and the need for salvation) UNLESS God grants repentance (Acts 11:18 ). Therefore, if you understand God’s plan of salvation, recognize your need for it, and receive Jesus Christ as your Savior by faith, you can be saved.


If you are struggling with the doctrine of predestination and election unto salvation, study these Scriptures: (Matt. 22:14 ; 24:22 , 24, 31; Mark 4:11 –12; Luke 10:21 –22; 18:7; John 15:16 , 19; Acts 4:28 ; 13:48 ; Rom. 8:29 –30, Rom. 8:33 ; Rom. 9:6–23; Rom. 11:5, Rom. 11:7, Rom. 11:28 ; Rom. 16:13 ; 1 Cor. 1:27 –28; Gal. 1:15 ; Eph. 1:4–5; Col. 3:12 ; 1 Thess. 1:4; 2 Thess. 2:13 ; 2 Tim. 2:10 ; Titus 1:1; James 2:5; 1 Pet. 1:2; 2:9; 2 Pet. 1:10 ; 2 John 1, 13; Rev. 17:14 ).


Amen! 🎯 REPENT and BELIEVE and TURN back to God!
