More on Gods Selection
I am not that great at nailing this every night. We are in a series on Calvin and the bible passages he used to find his ideas. We have been here for a bit and it is going to be as longer time then I thought. I got a ton more things to prove. Over the last times I am presenting a overview to this and how the bible is giving a case of the chance God works this way. So I want to finish up part one and go into part 2.
James 1 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. 18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures.1
Of Gods own will he gave us the word of truth. God gave us his love. Perhaps the word was given to show that God was into a new thing and also to prove the grace and Love of God.
1 Peter 1 , 2 elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:2
Elect is to call out of the world or to pick or select. God selected the people. Note also the author is Peter and so we see another author was teaching this thinking.
The foreknowledge of God. It is not that God just knew some how that the people who would pick him. God know because God picked. Look here about this same thing is said by Paul
Romans 8 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.3
different order of words but the foreknow had to be planned. God had to plan this.
2 Peter 1 10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.4
Call and election sure. We are to live in a way so people know that our life is Gods and not ours.
Jude 4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.
Here is something about God had people marked for hell. False teachers are the ones here and if your one of them your marked. God does not like fakes. He is going to tear them down. Scary thing.
Rev 13 8 8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.5
Now you seen the first part on the chosing of the Lord. For fun here are a few on the other side
romans 10 word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 6
2 peter 3 8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.7
1 tim 2 3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, 7 for which I was appointed a preacher and an apostle—I am speaking the truth in Christ and not lying— a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth.8
So there is parts of the bible where this seems to be a bit not right.
