"Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by
Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the
praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the
beloved." Eph 1:5-6.
Did you notice those astounding words: "... wherein he has
made us accepted in the beloved."
That's the gospel.... by His grace, God has made you accepted in
His Son Jesus Christ, which is why you are effectually called to grace and
eternal salvation.
So, the relevant question is this: has God MADE you accepted in
Jesus Christ?
Away with the liars who peddle the lies that sinners' acceptance
of Jesus Christ is the determining factor in their eternal salvation!
It is the greater that accepts the lesser, the Lord and Saviour
that accepts a poor guilty condemned sinner; it is the righteous Judge that
pardons and accepts a condemned criminal, based solely upon the merits of Jesus
Christ alone.
O please, away with the lie and fable.
The multifaceted truth of our adoption to children by Jesus
Christ:
- Predestinated unto the adoption of children before the foundation of the world,
- Legally Purchased as children at the cross,
- Regenerated/born again as a child at the effectual call,
- Experience the blessings of God's children through faith in Jesus Christ, and
- Glorified children at the resurrection.
