election-part7-the few
Matthew 22:14
For many are called but few are chosen.
Many times Jesus in His many parables said that there are many who are going to be called but few will take Him up on His offer of salvation - many will try and find another way - many will deny God completely - and still others will try and earn their way - but the truth is apart from Christ there is no salvation - only hell - we cannot have it both ways - we either follow JESUS or we do not follow JESUS - the choice is ours - God did not make us a robots that just obey HIM -that would not bring HIM honor at all -He wants our trust and worship - He longs for a relationship with us and He has given us a way - some feel the way of JESUS is too easy -but its really death -death to our old way of leaving (which is a good thing!) Death to our old ways - our past is gone and our unredeemed time has past - we now belong to JESUS and if you have accepted HIS offer - you belong to Him now - and your life is no longer your own - Jesus said the fields are white and ready to harvest- but the workers are few - He is the LORD of the harvest and of you and me - He knows the choice we will make before we even make it - God knows best - He has given us HIS Son - He has opened up access to HIMSELF to us - we should not be able to even approach HIS throne but His mercy leads us there and enables us to come in contract with God! God said He would never leave us nor forsake us - so if you belong to HIM today -rejoice - if not then come in - come in and see that GOD Is good and HE wants you to have HIS grace- the offer is there -will you take it?
A SIDE NOTE:
I hope you have enjoyed this series on Election -its been interesting to see what the WORD has to say on this issue - tomorrow we move on to Atonement!
Many are called - but sadly few our chosen.
in CHRIST we are taken by HIS love!
