The Undeserved Became The Deserving

All English Service

Why the Gibeonites, the cursed and undeserved group eventually became deserving? Because they had come to Israelites, with fear, humility and trembling knowing that Israelite's God is truly the one and only God. We often use our judgment to perceive others, thinking that they will never understand what you believe. But the Word says share the gospel to the ends of the world, for the deserving ones will respond. Have you become the stumbling block of gospel? Blessed are you who can listen and believe in the gospel, for your salvation is purely by grace of God. One who has received much, will share abundantly of the good news he receives, and he will also realize that the purpose in life is none other than world evangelism. We have heard the truths many times. We have heard sermons after sermons in church and from the website. However, if one does not intentionally seek out the person of Christ of what he has heard through prayers with God, it will not give birth to the right spirit. May the Lord restore the right spirit inside us as we seek Him in our prayers, nailing our pride, worldly and convenient thinking on the cross repeatedly. May His heartbeat becomes ours.

Introduction

Two erroneous teachings about salvation:

  • Giving false assumption about salvation
  • Justify salvation by one’s merits

 

Verse to Read: <1 Thessalonians 1:2-3>

Evidences of inner attributes:

  1. Faith ⟹ Works
  2. Love ⟹ Labor
  3. Hope ⟹ Endurance

 

Verses to Read: <1 Thessalonians 1:4-10>

Your assurance that you are loved and chosen in Christ stems from:

  • The gospel came to you with power
  • You became imitators of us and of the Lord
  • You became a model to all the believers
  • You turn to God from idols and wait for His coming Son

 

And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
<Romans 8:30>

 

Reflection

1. Have you been taught the right doctrine of election before in the past? If yes, how were you taught about it?

2. Do you have the evidence of one that is being loved and chosen in Christ?
