GOD’S ELECT.
We
will have ups, downs, trials, tribulations and the like throughout our
lifetime. Notwithstanding, NOTHING WILL SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD WHICH
IS IN JESUS CHRIST.
Let
us remember Paul the apostle said: “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” (Romans 8:18).
“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. [WHO SHALL SEPARATE US FROM
THE LOVE OF CHRIST]? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed
all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all
these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us” (Romans
8:35-37).
“[FOR
I AM PERSUADED, THAT NEITHER DEATH, NOR LIFE, NOR ANGELS, NOR PRINCIPALITIES,
NOR POWERS, NOR THINGS PRESENT, NOR THINGS TO COME, NOR HEIGHT, NOR DEPTH, NOR
ANY OTHER CREATURE, SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD, WHICH IS
IN CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD]” (Romans 8:38-39).
God’s
elect are kept by his power through faith unto salvation, ready to be revealed
in the last time (1 Peter 1:5).
“And
it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and
he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and
rejoice in his salvation” (Isaiah 25:9).
