Predestined to Christ
Romans 8:28-30, 35-39 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 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. … Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
All things are for aur good. This happens when we are submitted to the will of God. This speaks of the elect. Those who are going to be called, justified, and glorified. God looked from the beginning and saw me in maturity, glorified. So I can stomp the Ishmaelite (carnal) nature and the Israelite (spiritual) nature can shine. If god sees me glorified I can make it. There can be no doubt in me that I can make it. God has already seen me justified. ALL sin is forgiven and I have no past. No condemnation for the past in my life no matter what or who rises up against me. Don’t even consider death, famine, pestilence, etc. If GOD is for us, who can be against us? Nothing and nobody!! Do I know God? My spirit has to say, “Yes, better than ever, for a long time, Longer than I know because he called me and knew me from the beginning.” DON’T WALK LIKE A SPIRITUAL MIDGET. WALK LIKE A SPIRITUAL GIANT.
John 15:26-27 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
