Grace N Truth

 Predestination. I can recall the battle of doctrines when I came to see and understand 'predestination.' The word 'predestination' means = God has eternally chosen those whom he intends to save. So God is very selfish in that He tends to only save certain people and well the rest shall spend forever in some flames of fire. No wonder there is a doctrine war in churches over 'Predestination.' I see Predestination as 'sonship' NOT saved and unsaved. See not everyone will die to themselves to allow the Christ within to be birth. See most to many in some way love themselves more then the Lord. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh yea they may sing that song 'I love you LORD' as they work at pleasing their flesh.

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God ... Romans 3:23 Let us look at Romans 3:23 this way 'for all have missed the mark and fallen short of the glory of God.' So we see that we missed the mark and that mark is the glory of God. Now ask yourself what is the glory of God? That we come up short on? I know the glory of God can be summed up in this "... God is love ." God is love and we miss that mark for in the world our love is according to what others do towards us or our love is in categories. Through out the Bible on display is His love. It is seen from the beginning towards one that turns from God's love to a selfish love and the greatest display is when love sacrifices itself for others and in doing so others see His great love. "For God SO LOVED THE WORLD ..." This God's love is His glory and when sons see this love they will love as He is love! I know in my hEARt I could fill this blog for hours, days, weeks, months on His love.
