God's Will and our Inheritance

Now i believe i am beginning to see the flow of the Word.

Each of the Scriptures below tell us God knows what He is doing, Has Always known What He is Doing
and Works after the Counsel of His Own Will. Read the 4 verses immediately below, then read the passage
below that afterwards.

Romans 5:8:
But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 8:30:
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified:
and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Ephesians 1:5:
Having predestinated us to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good
pleasure of his will,

Ephesians 1:11:
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him
who works all things after the counsel of his own will:

Read this now and see:

But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Having predestinated us to the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who works all things after the counsel of his own will:
Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

Hi George,

A beautiful message Brother!

It is amazing how from time to time how certain scriptures seem to reemerge as we read and study and fellowship, I want to add a couple of verses (that have popped up a few times for me recently) from 1John Chapter 3 that I believe fit very well with your post.

1Jo 3:1  Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
 
1Jo 3:2  Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

It is an incredible promise to contemplate.....

Peace,

Joe

Joe,

Those 2 verses and thousands of others All say the same thing, don't they. All the Promises Of God
Are Yea and Amen; the Joy and Peace i get is really unspeakable. To think that the dross i believed
before was being sold (tithe, freewill, accept salvation) as good news.

I feel like Shouting from my rooftop the Real Good News of our ADOPTION and our ABBA.

George.

John was sure of his election and spoke very positively about what he believed is going to happen when Christ returns.  I believe now that we can also be sure that if we endure to the end and by God's grace teaching us that we will also be able to see Him as He is when He returns.

Akira329:
2Pe 1:10  Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
Give diligence to what?
2Pe 1:5  And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
2Pe 1:6  And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
2Pe 1:7  And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
2Pe 1:8  For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

2Pe 1:4  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
Something we can be sure of!! ;D
