Subject: What does Bible teach on election? |
Bible Note: Dear Richard1, You asked: "My question is that if someone is not (to my knowledge) a Christian, why should I share the gospel with them? Mark 16:15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Number one reason is because our Blessed Lord has commanded us to to. Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. God has not only predestined a people for salvation but has also preordained the means by which they are to be saved. Our heavenly Father does not operate in a vacumn but employs His church in accomplishing that which is His will for them to do. I hope this helps. If not, there are quite a few posts in the archives that provide the pros and cons on Election and pre-destination etc. In fact it has become a sore point for some "oldtimers" who are exhausted by the debate. If you do not find what you want feel free to email me at the address in my profile. It would be helpful if you also would provide an introduction of yourself to the forum by letting us know a bit about you as well. God Bless, John |
