\"THE<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The doctrine of election is no easy truth to swallow, it can be a very uneasy truth. It is a truth that tells us that Yahweh determined on whom He bestowed His grace of election Romans 8:29<\/a>. He acts independently, He acts definitively, according to His nature and for His good pleasure and glory! Isaiah 40:14-13<\/a>, Philippians 2:13<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are those who mistakenly believe that Yahweh acts and responds on foreknowledge. If you think about that for bit you should realize that if this were the case then, He would be basing His actions on the will of man and not based on His Sovereign will. When we read The Gospel of John it says Yahweh acts by His own will and not the will of man. John 1:12 – 1:13<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Election is revealed in all of scripture. The nation of Israel was not the only recipient in Scripture of God\u2019s electing choice. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ is called Christ, \u201cMy Chosen One\u201d (Luke 9:35<\/a>). The church is a community of those who were chosen, or \u201celect\u201d (Ephesians 1:4<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The doctrine of election conflicts with the dictates of the carnal mind. It is repugnant to the sentiments of the unregenerate heart. And like the doctrine of the Holy Trinity and the miraculous birth of our Savior, the truth of election, because it has been revealed by God, must be embraced with simple and unquestioning faith. (John Macarthur).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, He decides and determined of every man\u2019s destiny, and the controller of every detail in each individual\u2019s life. Whether it is a vessel unto honor or a vassal unto dishonor Romans 9:18-22<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll close with this, on this side of eternity we will not wholly comprehend this truth, but we likewise shouldn’t disregard this truth. It is a loving God who ordained to save at all a remnant. My hope and prayer are, you are drawn and called by name and elected unto<\/em> salvation. John 6:44<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
