Dear Ken, Please read the definition below from Easton's Bible Dictionary. If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them for you. John Reformed Election of Grace - The Scripture speaks (1) of the election of individuals to office or to honour and privilege, e.g., Abraham, Jacob, Saul, David, Solomon, were all chosen by God for the positions they held; so also were the apostles. (2) There is also an election of nations to special privileges, e.g., the Hebrews (Deut. 7:6; Rom. 9:4). (3) But in addition there is an election of individuals to eternal life (2 Thess. 2:13; Eph. 1:4; 1 Pet. 1:2; John 13:18). The ground of this election to salvation is the good pleasure of God (Eph. 1:5, 11; Matt. 11:25, 26; John 15:16, 19). God claims the right so to do (Rom. 9:16, 21). It is not conditioned on faith or repentance, but is of soverign grace (Rom. 11:4-6; Eph. 1:3-6). All that pertain to salvation, the means (Eph. 2:8; 2 Thess. 2:13) as well as the end, are of God (Acts 5:31; 2 Tim. 2:25; 1 Cor. 1:30; Eph. 2:5, 10). Faith and repentance and all other graces are the exercises of a regenerated soul; and regeneration is God's work, a "new creature." Men are elected "to salvation," "to the adoption of sons," "to be holy and without blame before him in love" (2 Thess. 2:13; Gal. 4:4, 5; Eph. 1:4). The ultimate end of election is the praise of God's grace (Eph. 1:6, 12). |

This is a question I've asked where they ask you to ask questions...... Why did it take Jesus, after becoming a man of 30 yrs, another 3 1/2 years to go to the cross if the all He had to be was the 'Lamb of God'. [I'm assuming all here know what is meant by "Lamb of God".] I hope you all can find your way there. |

Answer: All that had been prophecied in the OT regarding the Messiah had to be fulfilled..John I'll give you the 30. Please explain the 3 1/2 yrs, John? Why the choosing of the twelve and all the other "ministry" associated; Physical healings and miracles performed by Him? Why not straight to the cross. [ I understand about Daniel, so don't go there] |
