Featured War On The Sinner's Prayer by Paul Washer

“But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth.” (2 Thessalonians 2:13)

“12So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; 13bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.” (Colossians 3)

“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.” (1 Peter 1:2)

 

God loved us before we loved and accepted Him through Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. To forgive us of our sins. And cleanse us and be His children.

 

Do you take the word “accept” as one reaching out and grabbing hold, or that which is not turned away from as one accepting the consequences?

 

13 But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

 

Oh, that people would embrace the truth of God’s purposed redemption!
