IF YOU ARE TRULY SAVED, PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS GRACE!!!

 IF YOU ARE TRULY SAVED, PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS GRACE!!!

Romans 11:4-8 

But What Saith The Answer Of God Unto Him? I Have Reserved To Myself Seven Thousand Men, Who Have Not Bowed The Knee To The Image Of Baal. Even So Then At This Present Time Also There Is A Remnant According TO THE ELECTION OF GRACE. And If By GRACE, Then Is It No More Of Works: Otherwise GRACE Is No More GRACE. But If It Be Of Works, Then Is It No More GRACE: Otherwise Work Is No More Work. What Then? Israel Hath Not Obtained That Which He Seeketh For; But THE ELECTION HATH OBTAINED IT, And The Rest Were Blinded (According As It Is Written, God Hath Given Them The Spirit Of Slumber, Eyes That They Should Not See, And Ears That They Should Not Hear;) Unto This Day.

This is a hard saying to understand, but I am using it so you can know what GRACE IS. GRACE IS THE PLAN OF GOD FOR THE PEOPLE HE HAS TO SAVE. Now we do not know who all He has planned to Save, that is His Business. People are used for His Purpose and His Good Pleasure. I look at GRACE as a very humbling experience. When I know that I am Saved By GRACE, I know that God could have said no to me, but He didn't. So all I can say is PRAISE THE LORD!!! Like I said before, Salvation Is His Business. We do not know who, when, or if He will Choose To Save, He has foreordained, that, no man can change what He Has done.

Hebrews 4:3-4 

For We Which Have Believed Do Enter Into Rest, As He Said, As I Have Sworn In My Wrath, If They Shall Enter Into My Rest: ALTHOUGH THE WORKS WERE FINISHED FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD. For He Spake In A Certain Place Of The Seventh Day On This Wise, And GOD DID REST THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS.

Romans 8:28-30 

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.

THE CALLED ACCORDING TO HIS PURPOSE.

See the word "DID", that is the past tense, it is a finished work.

See the "ed" on the words CALLED, JUSTIFIED, GLORIFIED, IT IS A FINISHED WORK!!! IT ALL HAS HAPPED BECAUSE GOD SPOKE IT BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.

John 6:44 

NO MAN CAN COME TO ME, EXCEPT THE FATHER WHICH HATH SENT ME DRAW HIM: AND I WILL RAISE HIM UP AT THE LAST DAY.

John 10:14-16

I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD, AND KNOW MY SHEEP, AND AM KNOWN OF MINE. AS THE FATHER KNOWETH ME, EVEN SO, KNOW I THE FATHER: AND I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR THE SHEEP. AND OTHER SHEEP I HAVE, WHICH ARE NOT OF THIS FOLD: THEM ALSO I MUST BRING, AND THEY SHALL HEAR MY VOICE, AND THERE SHALL BE ONE FOLD, AND ONE SHEPHERD.

This Scripture tells us not only the Jewish people are elected, but also the Gentiles. That means us, people who are not Jewish.

John 10:25-30 

JESUS ANSWERED THEM, I TOLD YOU, AND YE BELIEVED NOT: THE WORKS THAT I DO IN MY FATHER'S NAME, THEY BEAR WITNESS OF ME. BUT YE BELIEVE NOT, BECAUSE YE ARE NOT OF MY SHEEP, AS I SAID UNTO YOU. MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE, AND I KNOW THEM, AND THEY FOLLOW ME:

AND I GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE; AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH, NEITHER SHALL ANY MAN PLUCK THEM OUT OF MY HAND. MY FATHER, WHICH GAVE THEM ME, IS GREATER THAN ALL; 

AND NO MAN IS ABLE TO PLUCK THEM OUT OF MY FATHER'S HAND. 

I AND MY FATHER ARE ONE.

If you read The Scripture above, it says, WHICH GAVE THEM, ME! 

THE FATHER GAVE HIM TO US!!! OH PRAISE THE LORD!!!

IF YOU ARE TRULY SAVED, PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS MERCY AND GRACE!!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!
