Subject: what if you die and have not repented |
Bible Note: The unrepentant will only be those whom God has not called. Romans 9:16 "So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that showeth mercy." …” which is clearly meant that the reason why any man is saved is not because he wills it, but because God willed, accord to that other passage, "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you." The whole scheme of salvation, we aver, from the first to the last, hinges and turns, and is dependent upon the absolute will of God, and not upon the will of the creature.” – C. H. Spurgeon http://www.spurgeon.org/sermons/0442.htm Don’t misunderstand what “Free Will” actually is. Through faith in Christ, you can freely choose to act in harmony with God’s will, enabled by God’s Holy Spirit to do so. If God does not call you, you are free to act against His will. Your free will depends on the sovereign God, as does your salvation and not on whether or not you will it so. WOS |
