When we call oursleves Christians, we are saying that we have come to an end of ourselves and look to glorify God in all that we do. All Christians MUST be agreed with this point, for you do not try to glorify God in all that you do (notice I use the word try, for God knows we will fail at this) then you are not a born again believer! One point however, is not agreed on by all Christians. And that point is the way we come to an end of ourselves, or rather, How are we saved? I myself am a Calvinist in my beliefs and believe strongly that God has chosen whoever it pleased him to choose for salvation...... my question is, Why do people fear this fact? What is their to fear in this great truth.... our own depraved human nature peverts the truth. Oh fine, we will "allow" God to be the creator, ah we can let God be the great physician and healer, we might even "allow" God to be sovereign in where we work and live...... but why are we so scared to let him be soveriegn over our salvation. That is to let Him have total control over men and their salvation. There is nothing to fear in this wonderful truth revealed to us scriptures, but we fear it anyways..we just wont let go of ourselves and give God the power! Oh he can be anywhere but on His throne Sovereignly controling the universe and every aspect therein. Oh may God be gracious to us all and bring us to the end of ourselves, let him soften our depraved hearts and open our blind eyes to his glorious sovereignty! May we be humble by God, and live to bring Him glory.
Grace and Peace!
A man's heart plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps. -Proverbs 16:9
