Your Election Victory!
Because of His grace, believers have been elected of God, to glorify His Name in this generation, by obedience to His Living Word: The LORD Jesus Christ. 1 Pe. 1:1-5 KJV;
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Col. 3:12-14 KJV;
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
Rom. 8:31-34 KJV;
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth.
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
1 Thess. 1:2-4 KJV;
We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
Oh yes, praise God, we know we have been elected of God, it is written in His glorious word, and written on our hearts by His Spirit within.
What a campaign He mounted to win us…
What a price it cost Him…
What a responsibility He has placed in our hands.
Come, there’s no time to lose, let’s return Him at least a hundredfold. Mtt. 13:23 KJV;
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
And all the saints cry… AMEN!
Fifty days after He ascended to Heaven, Christ sent His Holy Spirit to fill, empower, and guide believers through all the details of daily life, and be effective witnesses of Him to this lost generation.
We have His written word, the Holy Bible as a reference foundation, but the primary way God leads His children is directly by His Spirit. How You Can Be Led By The Spirit of God will help you develop your ability to follow His Spirit in all things. It’s a wonderful scriptural and practical teaching.
You asked:
Q: I voted for President Trump last election, but I’m not sure I’ll vote for him again. Who are you voting for?
A: The only ‘candidate’ worthy of my vote is The LORD Jesus Christ, all the rest are phonies with Feet of Clay.
By the grace of God, I’ve always managed to avoid voting in any election.
When still in my sins, that was because of apathy, but since being saved, it is by choice, following Divine Wisdom.
I don’t want anybody’s blood on my hands, do you?
Voters in US presidential elections receive blood-soaked hands, because participants share in the government’s guilt before God.
Wake up, and realize who actually runs nations, and what really motivates world leaders.
When you pay attention to the LORD, He will open your eyes wider.
If you don’t, you’ll be manipulated and readily duped.
Capitalism, Democracy, Socialism, and Communism etc., are dead-ducks in the water, and always have been: The pond is poisoned, I advise everyone to get out, and come into The LORD Jesus Christ’s kingdom.
Where there’s no; corruption, deceit, duplicity, death, or sin, and the King of Salem reigns supreme forever. Halleluia!
