Qualifying factor.

1 Timothy

[3] For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;

[4] Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Knowing the fate of all people and understanding Gods plan for saving humanity I'm wondering if verse 4 is the qualifying factor for Gods elect in this aged where it says ( to come unto the knowledge of the truth )

We know many who believe in Christ who belongs to Christendom have not the truth.


God bless.

rick:
This knowledge spoken of in verse 4 doesn't suggest how much of and accurate knowledge is required .

Is it enough to know the plan of God and His purpose for creating the human race ? How He is saving all in there order.

Your thoughts are welcomed.

God bless.

I do not know how long you have known The Lord, but once you are dragged to Him by His Holy Spirit, and you know the Truth in your heart and mind - and you choose to want to know more of his knowledge of The Truth, He will impart this knowledge to you, at His Direction and Timelines.

His Truth, in this age, as you know is not for everybody.

His Elect, must choose each day to serve Him, and yearn for His Love and Truth, and Grace and Joy, and most of all His Peace.

I have had at least the following revealed to me, which I meditated on and when I knew it to be absolutely True, ate and drank it - having it engraved in my heart and mind by His Holy Spirit:

1. All is of God.
2. He Loves us.
3. He is in total Control of All Things at All Times.
4. We are not in charge of ourselves, He is.
5. He directs everyone's steps, even our thoughts.
6. We are to live as His Witnesses.
7. The Doctrines of the Catholic and Protestant churches are all false and in fact pagan.
8. The whole world is ruled by pagans.
9. We are in the world but not of the world.
10. We can only defeat evil by doing good.
11. We cannot make decisions for others, but we can influence them by how we live our daily lives.
12. Most people on the Earth are more comfortable lying than living in The Truth.

I am currently dealing with a massive Truth He has recently revealed to me; and what I am currently wrestling with, is the biggest challenge I have had yet - and until I have ascertained my status, I am not in a position to confirm the remedy.

It is all about your own heart and your desire to please Him at all times no matter what, that will lead you into the fullness of his knowledge of Truth.

Most people on the Earth have one or more issues that control their lives and keep them trampled underfoot - and they do not know the solution(s) to their problem(s) - but His Elect as The True Body of Christ have no superior but Christ Himself and Our Beloved Heavenly Father, and all the Elect's issues must be presented to Christ for resolution in the knowledge of His Absolute Truth.
 
I hope this helps you a little.

Kind Regards.

George

Is it enough for what Rick? Is what enough? I'm not following.

Hi George,

You started off by saying you don't know how long I've known the Lord , to be honest with you at one time I've would of answers my whole life.

Today I will only say I knew of Jesus just like all of Christendon knows of Jesus but they really don't know Him.

In that day they will say to Jesus did we not but Jesus will say get to my left. Not a direct quote as you know but there are many who claim to know God but really don't and there are many who claim to believe God but don't really believe the scriptures.

Believe it or not but this week I've come to terms with the sovereignty of God , it's been something I've struggled with for sometime as all my threads will testify to.

My whole life might boiled down to today I'm getting to know Jesus. Knowing Jeuse to me is knowing His word and His words are spirit and they are found in the Holy scriptures.

The scriptures speaks of having and accurate knowledge of God. To me a perfect accurate knowledge of God is knowing the sum of Gods word but to me once one is chosen they are chosen
I say only because I don't believe God chooses and un chooses His elect.

I hear some people say one can loose their salvation but I say did they ever have salvation. God knows the ends from the beginning so how could that be.

But all the things you mentioned I also believe but I should also say as I understand the sovereignty of God I realize it's the Potter who determines everything in a persons life as it really is He who directs our footsteps in the way He says we will go.

I think it's great to be able to ask questions and receive answers but even these things are dictated by God no matter how one views it.

But back to my original question how much knowledge of God does one need to know to qualify to be an elect .

God bless.
