These are powerful statements.
We are truly blessed and part of the big picture that God has for this planet.
In fact God predestines us, he adopts us as sons and daughters.
Jews and Gentiles are co-sharers of the glorious inheritance.
We need to praise and worship our God as He is the one who blesses us and we bless Him by praising Him.
Every spiritual blessing are ours in the the heavenly rhelm.
The blessings of CHristianity are spiritual dealing with nonmaterial, invisible and imperishable things.
These are wonderful blessings that were unknown in the Old Testament.
This all available to us though Christ Jesus our Lord.
“To be in Christ, which is the portion of all who are saved, is to partake of all that Christ has done, all that He is, and all that He ever will be.”
We need to distinguish our position in CHrist rather than in Adam.
All still in Adam are condemned through their sins.
We are accepted not in ourselves but rather our faith in CHrist.
Thankfully, we are in CHrist but our practice is imperfect in contrast to our position.
Interesting, the first three chapters gives us much to think about doctrinely.
SO what should we learn from election.
Was it not that God chose us or did we choose GOd? Were we really in Him before the foundation of the world?
We need to be holy and without blame in Him in love.
Divine election is hard to comprehend.
In 2 Thess 2:13 and 1 Pet 1:2 it states that God does choose men to salvation, making us part of the elect according to the foreknowledge of God.
In 1 Thess 1:4-7, this teaches us that we can prove our election by the response we have to the gospel.
Esentially it states that those that hear and believe are elect.
Let us have a look at this scripture:
It is interesting though that God never chooses men to be lost.
It in inferred by the scriptures that yes God chooses some to be saved but not that He arbitrarily condemns the rest.
Noone deserves to be saved but GOd does save some that ought to be condemned.
We need to allow GOd to be God.
These truths are difficult to comprehend as Christians.
DOes not God have a right to be sovereign and do as He pleases?
DOes GOd have the right to show mercy to some if He chooses?
There are two sides of the story here.
One is on sovereign election but with that goes with human responsibility.
SO if a person becomes lost it is because he chooses to be not because God desires it.
Both election and free salvation are taught in the Bible.
The following verse implies it.
The ones the Father gave to CHrist is by God’s sovereign choice however the ones that come to CHrist has to do with the offer of mercy to all.
However, how do we reconcile between these truths?
Is it not a mystery to us but to God this mystery is well understood.
Think about God being the potter and us being the clay.
Hasn’t the creator got the right to mould the clay as he seems fit?
We really need to merge the truth between election and man’s free will.
W.G Blaikie says it like this:
Divine sovereignty, human responsibility and the free and universal offer of mercy are all found in Scripture, and though we are unable to harmonize them by our logic, they all ought to have a place in our minds.
Predestination is part of God’s blessing.
This is related to election but not the same.
This implies that God determined ahead of time all that would be adopted into the family of God as sons and daughters.
When we are adopted into the Kingdom of God, we place a believer into an adult sonship with all the implied privileges and responsibilities.
Therefore, we call God as Father.
We have come out of slavery from the law witht he Father adopting us as His very own children.
It gave God great pleasure in bringing us into the Kingdom of God and we will be with Him and lke Him forever.
We need to be conformed to the image of His only begotten Son.
We are also freely accepted in the Beloved to the praise of the glory of His grace.
THrough this grace, GOd first elected us then predestined us to be His sons.
Let us praise Him for His glorious grace
Then there is that familiar plan of redemption.
Therefore we are freed from the bondage and guilt of sin and given a life of liberty.
Who is the Redeemer - God is and He lives.
His blood is the ransom price as nothing less would do.
Following redemption, there needs to be forgiveness of sins.
This should be fruit of redemption.
We forgive according to the riches of His grace.
If we measure how fully He has forgiven us, we understand His wonderful grace, which is infinite.
Predestination and redemption comes through God’s grace.
That grace also brings prudence and wisdom.
He graciously shares His plans and purposes to us.
We need intelligence and insight.
Christ makes known to us the mystery of His will and the glorious truth concerning Christ and the Church.
These secrets previously were unknown but now revealed to the saints.
The mysteries concern the sovereign will of God - according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Himself.
