True Election
Christ is able to save to the uttermost all who come to Him in faith.
He will cleanse them from all defilement if they will let Him.
But if they cling to their sins, they cannot possibly be saved; for Christ's righteousness covers no sin unrepented of.
God has declared that those who receive Christ as their Redeemer, accepting Him as the One who takes away all sin, will receive pardon for their transgressions.
These are the terms of our election.
Man's salvation depends upon his receiving Christ by faith.
Those who will not receive Him lose eternal life because they refused to avail themselves of the only means provided by the Father and the Son for the salvation of a perishing world
**************************
Election Price Paid for All.--There could be no such thing as one not prepared for heaven entering heaven.
There is no such thing as a human being sanctified and fitted for the heavenly kingdom not having an election to that kingdom.
God elects those who have been working on the plan of addition. The explanation is given in the first chapter of Second Peter.
For every human being, Christ has paid the election price.
No one need be lost.
All have been redeemed.
To those who receive Christ as a personal Saviour will be given power to become the sons and daughters of God.
An eternal life insurance policy has been provided for all.
Whom God elects, Christ redeems.
The Saviour has paid the redemption price for every soul.
We are not our own; for we are bought with a price. From the Redeemer, who from the foundation of the world has chosen us, we receive the insurance policy that entitles us to eternal life
Election Within Our Reach.--There is the election of God on the condition of practice, and there is no other election in the Bible. Election is within our reach. "If ye do these things, ye shall never fall"
********************************
Those who humbly and prayerfully search the Scriptures, to know and to do God's will, will not be in doubt of their obligations to God.
For "if any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine." If you would know the mystery of godliness, you must follow the plain word of truth,--feeling or no feeling, emotion or no emotion.
Obedience must be rendered from a sense of principle, and the right must be pursued under all circumstances.
This is the character that is elected of God unto salvation.
The test of a genuine Christian is given in the word of God. Says Jesus, "If ye love Me, keep My commandments." "He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of My Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him. . . . If a man love Me, he will keep My words: and My Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. He that loveth Me not keepeth not My sayings: and the word which ye hear is not Mine, but the Father's which sent Me."
Here are the conditions upon which every soul will be elected to eternal life.
Your obedience to God's commandments will prove your right to an inheritance with the saints in light. God has elected a certain excellence of character; and every one who, through the grace of Christ, shall reach the standard of His requirement, will have an abundant entrance into the kingdom of glory.
All who would reach this standard of character, will have to employ the means that God has provided to this end.
