Yes, I agree. People are at a different level with God. I always believed in Jesus but did not have the full understating that I do today. My salvation was a process.
Enjoy your lessons brother. We are supporters of your ministry and pray that God's grace will continually be poured out upon, your staff and all those ministries that you have touched thoughout the years. We thank the Lord for your obedience, shalom my brother David!
Then they are not one of the Elect.........there is no other name under heaven that we may be saved.....All of Jesus sheep will get saved through faith in Christ.....not one more and not one less....the Sheep are predestined to come to faith in Christ.....Mankind is not condemned for rejecting the gospel message. They are condemned for sin. Our sin is an offense against an eternally holy God, thus the only just punishment must likewise be eternal. Justice demands hell for all who sin against God. The gospel is an appeal to repent and believe in Christ, so as to be rescued from this much-deserved just punishment. God does not owe salvation, or even the means to be saved to anyone. It is wrong minded to approach this question as if any sinner deserves more than divine justice.
Don't agree. Only Jesus Saves. Romans Chapter 3 - 19 Obviously, the law applies to those to whom it was given, for its purpose is to keep people from having excuses, and to show that the entire world is guilty before God. 20 For no one can ever be made right with God by doing what the law commands. The law simply shows us how sinful we are. 21 But now God has shown us a way to be made right with him without keeping the requirements of the law, as was promised in the writings of Moses[i] and the prophets long ago. 22 We are made right with God by placing our faith in Jesus Christ. And this is true for everyone who believes, no matter who we are. 23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. 24 Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. 25 For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, 26 for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he makes sinners right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.
The pastor is talking about those who have NEVER heard about Jesus or the gospel. Therefore that leaves God as the ultimate judge. God the Creator is reaching out to those who have NEVER heard everyday through creation, throughout their conscious, and through calamities that happen. It all points to God to help you seek Him so you can find Him. If God didn't do that then He wouldn't be fair.
It also says in the Bible that God will judge every man according to his deeds. He is the fair and righteous Judge. Therefore, since He knows the heart of man and we don't, He will judge rightfully. We can trust that God knows exactly what He is doing. He is all knowing, all powerful, present every where at the same time, sovereign, high and lifted up! To Him be all the glory!
Well done! Again thanks for saying what I already knew was true. This is teaching almost absent from corporate churches today!
