Election by Grace Is God’s Prerogative

A lesson from the Apostle Paul, as someone who once rejected Christ, shows us that we should not get puffed up in our calling as gentiles. God’s not done with the Jewish people, and we should not make the mistake of thinking we know who He’s going to save. The picture of election by grace shows us that it’s God’s prerogative to choose. Romans 11. VF-2431.

A lot of churches today present the message of “special sinners” or a “special way of salvation” and neither one of those is biblical. None of us are born to desire God, and none of us have “special sins.” We’re all born with a dark heart. We’re all sinners in need of salvation. We cannot save ourselves, and we must recognize that salvation doesn’t come by doing good deeds, or hearing words from a minister that make us “feel good.” It comes by hearing the words of faith. Romans 10. VF-2429.

In the book of Romans, Paul looks to the prophet Isaiah’s declaration about the children of Israel and proclaims that a remnant shall be saved, but not all. He addresses Jews that thought their salvation was automatic. They could not accept that Christ was the end of the law and that the gentiles could be saved without it. God wants trust, not perfection and for that trust there is eternal salvation through Him. Romans 9. VF-2428.

Why do some Jews still reject Christ? God has the right to choose whom He will save, whom He will show mercy, and whom He will reward. He also has the right to choose whom He will not. Don't assume you know which is which. Romans 9:15-26. VF-2427.

Many in Christ’s day believed that because they had the covenants, the promises, and the law that they didn’t need salvation. Although they were anticipating a Messiah, they rejected Christ and everything He had to say. Paul makes it clear as to “why” in the book of Romans: not all Israel is of Israel. Some people known as “Israel” had the capacity to respond to Christ. Many did not. The same is true today, and until God gives the capacity, no one can receive. VF-2426.

Not all the Jews rejected Christ, but many of the spiritual leaders were against Him because they had no spiritual discernment and they perceived Him as a threat to their position. There were also many people who only followed Jesus for self-serving reasons. The rejection of Christ was foretold by God and there are still many people today who will not hear. The Apostle Paul is an example of one called by God, who rejected Christ until God turned him around. In the end, God will have those ...
