Jesus Christ, we ask that you open up our
hearts, minds and souls to your holy words,
so we may hear, understand and see what
you want us to know, learn and apply to our
daily lives, so that we may Glorify you
among the believers and the non-believers in
the hope that believers will be encouraged
and strengthened in the FAITH and that
non-believers may come to your son Jesus
Christ in repentance, truth and obedience.
Amen

Teaching (Many
Scriptures) |

God Foreknew (Romans
8:28-30) - God knew our future,
what we would do and say before we
were ever born. So with that God
called those who he predestined to
be elected to salvation. If
God did not know the future, then
there would be no prophecies, no
last days and most of all no
Messiah. God plans everything
out in detail in accordance with his
will and goals. That is to get
rid of (satan) evil permanently and
those who chooses to follow (satan)
instead of Jesus Christ.
As it is Written:
Romans 8:28-31
28 And we know
that all things work together for
good to those who love God, to
those who are the called according
to
His purpose. 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. 30 Moreover whom
He predestined,
these
He also called; whom
He called, these
He also justified; and
whom
He justified, these
He also glorified.
NKJV
-
God Predestined, Elected
(Romans
8:29-30 - Romans 11:7-8) -
God
has chosen (1
Peter 2:9) in advance who will go to
heaven and who will not, because
he
foreknew (Romans
8:28-30) who will love and obey him and
who would not. With that,
the (chosen)
(1 Peter
2:4-10)
"Born Again Christians" have been
elected for
salvation through out all
eternity (1 Peter
1:1).

choose somebody for salvation:
especially in Christianity, to
choose somebody by divine will for
salvation.
There are those out there,
that who has been
predestined
for
salvation and has not
yet come to Jesus Christ in repentance
and obedience. They eventually
will though. (Not all who are
Invited are
chosen) - (MT
20:16 -MT
22:8) Not all of them will be
chosen. Only the ones that
does the
will of God
will be
chosen
for
salvation.
Matt 7:21-22"Not
everyone who says to Me,'
Lord,
Lord,'
shall enter the

God Draws People to Christ (John
6:44-45) - No one can come to
Jesus Christ, unless God draws them
through the power of the Holy Spirit to
our Lord Jesus Christ. It is not
by human effort (Romans
9:16), but by the grace & power
of God that people come to Jesus Christ
(Salvation). (BORN
AGAIN CHRISTIANS) are now (THE
CHOSEN PEOPLE -
1Peter 2:4-10).

Many Called/Few Chosen (Matthew
22:14) - Even though many are
called to come to Christ, not many are
chosen for salvation because of their
lack of commitment (faith) and obedience to
Jesus Christ.
Luke 13:23-24
And
He
said to them,
24"Strive
to enter through the narrow
gate,
for many, I say to you,
will
seek to enter and
will
not be able.
To be
able to enter the "Narrow" gate it
takes great sacrifice on our part.
If we are not willing to share in
the sufferings and sacrifice of our
Lord JESUS CHRIST, we will not be able to
enter threw the Narrow Gate.
We then will enter through the wide
gate that leads to destruction.
And Jesus says to people who
profess to be Christians and follow
him; Matt 7:21-22"Not
everyone who says to Me,'
Lord,
Lord
,' shall enter the
kingdom
of
heaven,
but
he
who
does
the
will
of My
Father
in
heaven.
To
do Gods will, is to do as he
commands us, not out of duty per
say, but because we love God from
all of our hearts and passion for
him. We must trust Jesus
Christ, like little children trust
their parents (Matthew
18:2-5).
And then to that our Lord Jesus
Christ states the following about
people who calls him Lord
(Professing Christians);
Luke
6:46-47"But
why do you
call
Me 'Lord,
Lord
,' and not do the things which I
say?
Modern evangelism has led many
people away from sound doctrine (the
scriptures), and
Jesus Christ. Modern
evangelism has caused many to stray
away from the Faith, Truth and Gods power, and
followed after vain ideas.
Because of a MR. Finney that
introduced false (Doctrines) ideas to the
churches in the early 1800's.
CHARLES SPURGEON HAS WARNED ABOUT
FALSE DOCTRINES IN THE CHURCHES!.
They are the ones who still want to live as the world
does instead of living according to the
ways & will of God, and
only those who does the Will of God
shall be saved (Matthew
7:21).
Many do not deny their
selves either (Mathew 16:24-27)
and this is a requirement in order
to be called disciples of Jesus
Christ (John
14:24).
And we must endure to the end as well (Matthew
10:22) in order to be saved.

Dictionary, ENDURE means >

vti
bear hardship: to experience
exertion, pain, or hardship without
giving up

to tolerate or accept somebody or
something that is extremely
disagreeable (formal)
-
vi
survive: to last or survive
over a period of time, especially

And many
professing Christians are lazy
servants (Matthew

are those who are Godless people that
turns the grace of God into a License
for sin (Luke
13:27-28, Jude 1:4).
-
Repent, Believe (Mark
1:14-15, Mark
16:16) - We are to turn away from
our sins, we are to hate our sins
and the things of this world.
In doing so we are denying our
selves and committing our selves to
be disciples of Jesus Christ instead
of being like worldly pagans or
religious church goers. As written;
if we are a friend
of this world, we become an enemy of
God (James 4:4). And
we are to believe in Jesus words-all
of them
without doubt (Matthew
21:21). And we are to practice
(put to action) Jesus teachings (John
14:15, John 14:23-24).

Continuation of The Christian
Faith |
-
Workout our salvation (Philippians
2:12) - Finally we are to work
out our salvation in trembling and fear
so that we may present our selves as
a holy bride with out blemish (1Peter
1:19) to our
King of Kings on the day that the BrideGroom
returns for us when we go to meet him in the air
(1Thess 4:17) as
the four angels gather the elect (Matthew
24:31) (Born
Again Christians) to
Christ.

Faith Without Works is Dead! (James
2:26) Many people who
believes in modern evangelism will
tell people, all you have to do is
to believe in Jesus and you will be
saved. They usually take
scriptures like (Acts
16:31) and ignore the rest of
the verses of scriptures! The
thing is, "Believe" means
having faith and according to
scripture (James
2:14-26 Faith Without Works is
Dead!)
Works my
friend is evidence of our Faith as
Abraham believed God and did as God
told him to do. And our
faith will cause us to bear good
fruit (MT
13:23)
and Faith will cause us as well to
let the light of Jesus Christ shine.
You see friend if we are lazy and do
nothing in service for Jesus Christ
"We Will Lose Our
Salvation" because we have not
acted on our Faith in Jesus Christ.
We would be lazy servants! As
it is written:
Matthew 25:30
30 And cast the unprofitable
servant into the outer darkness.
There will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.'
NKJV
As it is written about Faith without
Works is Dead;
James 2:14-3:1
What does it profit, my brethren, if
someone says he has faith but does
not have works? Can faith save
him? 15 If a brother or sister
is naked and destitute of daily
food, 16 and one of you says to
them, "Depart in peace, be warmed
and filled," but you do not give
them the things which are needed for
the body, what does it profit? 17
Thus also faith by itself, if it
does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, "You have
faith, and I have works." Show me
your faith without your works, and
I will show you my faith by my
works. 19 You believe that there
is one God. You do well. Even the
demons believe — and tremble! 20
But do you want to know, O foolish
man, that faith without works is
dead? 21 Was not Abraham our
father justified by works
when he offered Isaac his son on the
altar? 22 Do you see that faith
was working together with his works,
and by works faith was made
perfect? 23 And the Scripture
was fulfilled which says, "Abraham
believed God, and it was accounted
to him for righteousness."
And he was called the friend of God.
24 You see then that a man is
justified by works, and not by faith
only.
25 Likewise, was not Rahab the
harlot also justified by
works when she received the
messengers and sent them out another
way?
26 For as the body without the
spirit is dead, so faith without
works is dead also.
NKJV
