Eph 1:4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before him in love:
This scripture Eph 1:4 is saying I should be holy which means called out ,this I understand but without blemish which means without imperfection. I have imperfections not only in in character but even in appearance too.
I read a scripture but don’t remember where it is I will start writing them down as to give them out on my post but Jesus said be ye perfect as your father in heaven is perfect. Then he said to the women caught in adultery, go and sin no more.
I know I just been through this on this forum and I felt secure again but scripture is telling me I need to be perfect without imperfection. Well, that leaves me out big time! Then it says to sin no more. Unless God changes me I would be and idiot to think I will not sin again, just not happening although I wish I would not sin again.
Then Ray’s free will teaching tells me that Jesus himself did not have free will so I must conclude that God the father did not give Jesus any causes that would cause him to sin and I thank God for that or we would all be lost in our sins.
Eph 1:5 having foreordained us unto adoption as sons through Jesus Christ unto himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
How does one know if they are foreordained, is it like buying a raffle ticket for a good cause of course and having to wait and see if one wins? Or does one know if one is foreordain by one’s own life meaning they are perfect and do not sin.
I ask Jesus into my life so why am I receiving causes that cause me to sin if I am indeed a part of the elect but if apart of the many then I understand he’s just not dealing with me now but will at a later time. I don’t understand why I keep going back to this thought but I do.
I once hear a Christian say or so called Christian say being a Christian is the easiest thing to be. If that is true then I can’t be a Christian but why would God give me a desire?
I read also another scripture that says our God is not a God of confusion. Is God trying to tell me something here?
