Subject: What is the glory of God? |
Bible Note: Hi Mommapbs, May the Lord grant you wisdom and grace. I also pray that your journey to Turkey will be safe and fruitful. One point on your post, if I may. I dont't blame you for not believing that God chooses (elects) a people arbitrarily. He does nothing arbitrarily! What then is the basis for His choosing? Rev 4:11 "Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created." God always acts in accordance with His will and purpose. His purpose in creating us "new creatures in Christ Jesus, was to display His glory before all of creation. If you ask why did God choose you or me, I would say that it was not because of any thing good in either one of us but simply because he set His love on us before the foundation of the world. In other words, for His good pleasure. This fact, that God has chosen us, should serve to humble us even more. "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me." Bon Voyage! John |
