God Is Totally Free to Save You

In all of salvation - election and justification - works count for nothing, but only the free act of God.

I am so very grateful and thankful to our FATHER GOD for allowing me /us to hear and understand HIS WORD, and I am forever grateful and thankful to our FATHER GOD for giving us John Piper to help us to understand!!!

Indeed, We Establish the Law; Law keeping is not for Justification, but rather for Sanctification and The Law GIVER'S Glorification. After The ALMIGHTY HOLY 👑 SPIRIT Regenerates HIS People, Applying the Holy Blood of The HOLY 👑 KING YESHUA, The LORD & SOVEREIGN SON, to HIS People (the elect) whom HE Propitiated for and is Interceding for, Justifying Them and ultimately Glorifying HIS People Conforming Them into HIS Image, to the Glory of GOD The HOLY👑 FATHER. Grace, Peace, and LOVE to all the Elect in The ETERNAL SON.

Piper is the Spurgeon of our day. All by the grace of God.

Well I don't think I'll ever understand the difference between accepting his grace and living in obedience, guess I'll just wait to see if I go to heaven or hell then because this is all nothing but a contradiction it seems, or maybe gods preventing me to understand so that way I can go to hell.

000bullets maybe you should watch the c h Spurgeon sermon (the comers conflict with satan)

[@chipsmydog]

You honestly do not understand from your own experience, that you, and no one else but Jesus Christ, will ever live a perfect life to satisfy a perfectly Holy Father God?

[@000bullets]

David Patton then why should one STRIVE to not sin?

[@robertd7717]

000bullets Just because we are under grace does not mean we should abuse grace. God rescued us from eternal damnation not so that we could live the same life that was making us head there in the first place.

Hallelujah and Amen. Brothers and sisters look deeper. Use your decernment I pray. When I looked into this Calvinist stuff I was truly grieved in my spirit. So God hates people and predestineds hell, that would mean if a baby is not one of the elect the baby would go to hell that is the only logical way to carry predestination through. “For God so loved the world (Calvinist add: not really the whole world. He didn’t mean that...just the elect) that gave His only Son so who so ever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. God hates and sends babies to torment. God only loves the elect. In this way His Glory can be revealed. Everything I’ve listened to about this seems arrogant and Pharisee like. Who are you to demand that you alone know the mind of God? Why do missions and try to reach people for the Lord...just drop pamphlets from the air and the elect will show up. Can you even say God loves you or God is Love to anybody yes but only the elect the rest He hates. My God is Love and offers grace “for God so loved the World that He gave His only soon so that WHOSOEVER believes on Him will have everlasting life”. Grace and love is Ofered to all. Come to the fountain.

The whosoever who hear the Gospel, the effectual call, and believe in Him - like you - are the elect. God chose us coz we are totally incapable in our own power of ever choosing Him. We are at enmity with God after the Fall.

Fran Strahan I know what you believe. And I do pray for you. I don’t want to say anything that would anger you but this is just wrong. I can’t change your mind and I do not have a theology degree. I am just a nurse. But I can tell you this in my spirit I know this is wrong and hurts people spiritually and psychologically. I truly wrote my comment for the unawares. Grace and mercy to you
