The Bible reveals that:
...But when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac.
(For the children being NOT yet born, NEITHER having done any good or evil, that the PURPOSE of GOD according to ELECTION might STAND, not of works, but of Him that calls).
It was said unto her, the elder shall SERVE the younger.
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
For He said to Moses, I will HAVE mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will HAVE compassion on whom I will have compassion.
So then it is NOT of him (or her) that wills, nor of him (or her) that runs, but of GOD that shows MERCY. (Romans 9:10-16).
Do you get it?
This means that while we are all CHILDREN of GOD in Christ by the Holy Spirit of Christ given to us, when we individually and genuinely believe with our hearts and confess with our mouth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, repenting and forsaking of sins in this World,
our individual WALK (relationship) with GOD and WORK (responsibility) with GOD in Christ in this World is specifically and uniquely different from one another according to the LEVEL of MERCY and COMPASSION, God has chosen by His PURPOSE and ELECTION to show to us individually in Christ in this World. True!
Therefore, that the PURPOSE OF GOD according to ELECTION might STAND for you in Christ in this World, you need to take note and know that:
1. You and I are SAVED by GOD in Christ in this World because of our individual, specific and unique WALK (relationship) with HIM (God) and WORK (responsibility) with HIM (God), which He has ordained for us in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals that:
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us.
For by GRACE are you SAVED through faith. And that NOT of yourselves. It is the gift of God.
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
For we are His workmanship, CREATED in Christ Jesus unto GOOD WORKS, which God has before ORDAINED that we should WALK in them. (Ephesians 2:4,8-10; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15; Colossians 4:17; 2 Timothy 4:5-8; John 17:1-5; Matthew 5:13-16).
2. You and I are BLESSED by GOD in Christ in this World according to our individual, specific and unique WALK (relationship) with HIM (God) and WORK (responsibility) with HIM (God), which He has ordained for us in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals that:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has BLESSED US with ALL spiritual blessings in heavenly places IN Christ.
According as He has CHOSEN US in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.
Having PREDESTINATED US unto the adoption of Children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.
To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He has MADE US accepted in the beloved.
In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. (Ephesians 1:3-7; Philippians 4:13;19; 2 Corinthians 8:9; 2 Corinthians 9:8).
3. You and I are LED and PRAYED FOR by GOD (the Holy Spirit) in Christ in this World according to our individual, specific and unique WALK (relationship) with Him (God) and WORK (responsibility) with HIM (God), which He has ordained for us in Christ in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals that:
For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear. But you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.
And if children, then heirs. Heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ. If so be that we suffer with Him, that we may be also glorified together.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the MANIFESTATION of the sons of God. (Romans 8:14-19; Luke 4:1-21; Matthew 16:24-26).
Also,
Likewise the SPIRIT also HELPS our infirmities: for we KNOW NOT what we should PRAY for as we ought. But the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groans which cannot be uttered.
And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God. (Romans 8:26,27).
4. YOU AND I'S CIRCUMSTANCES and CHANCES in this World are managed for our GOOD by GOD in Christ in this World according to our individual, specific and unique WALK (relationship) with Him (God) and WORK (responsibility) with HIM (God), which He has ordained for us in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals that:
And we know that ALL things WORK together for GOOD to them that LOVE God, to them who are the called according to His PURPOSE.
For whom He did FOREKNOW, He also did PREDESTINATE to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also CALLED. And whom He called, them He also JUSTIFIED. And whom He justified, them he also GLORIFIED. (Romans 8:28-30; Philippians 2:13; Ecclesiastes 9:11; Thessalonians 5:18).
5. You and I will be JUDGED by GOD in Christ in this World according to our individual, specific and unique WALK (relationship) with Him (God) and WORK (responsibility) with HIM (God) in Christ, which He has ordained for us in Christ in this World. True!
The Bible reveals that:
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that waters; but God that gives the increase.
Now he that plants and he that waters are one. And EVERY man (and woman) shall RECEIVE his (or her) own REWARD according to his (or her) OWN labour.
For we are labourers together with God. You are God's husbandry, you are God's building.
According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation and another builds thereon. But let every man (and woman) TAKE HEED how he (or she) builds thereupon.
For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is JESUS CHRIST.
Now if any man (or woman) build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble.
Every man's (and woman's) WORK shall be made manifest. For the day shall declare it, because it shall be REVEALED by FIRE. And the fire shall try every man's (and woman's) work of what sort it is.
If any man's (or woman's) WORK abide which he (or she) has built thereupon, he (or she) shall RECEIVE a REWARD.
If any man's (or woman's) WORK shall be burned, he (or she) shall SUFFER loss. But he himself (or she herself) shall be SAVED; yet so as by fire. (1 Corinthians 3:6-15; Romans 14:10-13).
Therefore, Bible counsels you and I thus:
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us LAY ASIDE every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us. And let us RUN with patience the RACE that is SET before us.
LOOKING unto JESUS the author and finisher of our faith. Who for the JOY (reward) that was SET before Him endured the cross, despising the shame and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. (Hebrews 12:1-3).
So, note and know that:
Your SUFFERING (circumstances and chances) and GLORYING (celebrations) in Christ in this World will be specifically and uniquely different from other CHILDREN of GOD'S own, so don't compare or contrast yourself with anyone, within or outside Christ. Don't! Be focused and mind your business!
Your SUFFERING (circumstances and chances) and GLORYING (celebrations) in Christ in this World will be specifically and uniquely different from other CHILDREN of GOD'S own, so don't compare or contrast yourself with anyone, within or outside Christ. Don't! Be focused and mind your business!
This is why Apostle Paul said that:
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended (reached my divine goal). But this ONE thing I do, FORGETTING those things which are behind and REACHING forth unto those things which are before.
I PRESS toward the MARK for the PRIZE of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13,14).
Are you doing the same?
This is why the Bible counsels thus:
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you PRESENT your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
And be NOT conformed to this world. But be you transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, acceptable, and perfect WILL of GOD (for you par time par situation in Christ in this World).
(Romans 12:1,2; 1 John 2:15-17; Jeremiah 1:5-10; Galatians 1:13-16; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
Take note, take heed! (Colossians 4:17).
God bless you.
