Every person has been elected or chosen by God to believe and trust in Him. God’s “elect” is everyone that has ever lived, because He has chosen to love what He has created: YOU! God has chosen and promised you eternal life, if you would only believe in Him, and follow Jesus, His only begotten Son. “The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” (2nd Peter 3:9). You are special to God; He loves you. Not because you loved Him, or because of anything that you have done in the past to gain favor in His eyes, but because God first loved you. He doesn’t want you to perish; God offers you eternal life.
Some hold to a belief that, “with all the sorrow and death on the earth, god is allowing pain and suffering, because he cares for some, more than others, and who wants a god like that.” Nonsense! You are not speaking about the one true God! God doesn’t want anyone to perish, and you won’t, if you believe in Him, by following Jesus to the cross to kill your old sinful nature. Only then will you truly be born again from Heaven. All things work to God’s Glory. Death is the result of our own sin, but God has given all of humanity a way to remain at peace, in the hope of Jesus Christ, by offering eternal life to everyone. It is our own personal choice to turn away from sin, and to have faith in what God has, is, and will do.
God is the “Eternal Being” of past, present, and future tense; He is the great, “I AM.” God chooses each one of His elect to be separated from death, at the exact moment that they choose to believe in Him. For those that never choose to believe in God, Jesus says in Matthew 7:23, “…I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.” Iniquity is defined as a “gross injustice,” or a “wicked act.” The iniquity, of the people that are not recognized by God, is choosing not to believe in Him by ignoring what He has done, is doing, and will do, for each and every person that has ever lived. The choice to follow Jesus is a personal choice for each individual; you must each make your faith your own. Believe Him or not, “but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:3). God didn’t choose or elect you to die and perish, but to have faith in Him and truly live. God’s gift of eternal life is free; reach out and take what God is offering right now!
