“Therefore, let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; and by Him EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES IS JUSTIFIED from all things from which you could not be JUSTIFIED by the law of Moses.”- Acts 13:38-39

“Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH APART FROM THE DEEDS OF THE LAW.”- Rom 3:28

The word JUSTIFICATION is Greek: “Dikaiosis’, which means the act of pronouncing righteousness. The verb form “dikaioo” means to JUSTIFY. JUSTIFICATION means that believer receives the righteousness of God and the pardoning of sins at the same time. Because the atonement of Christ, sinners are able to be JUSTIFIED in God’s eyes. This is the work of Christ and not the word of the sinner. It is placing on Christ all of our sins. Instead of leaving us in a neutral state, God goes further and imputes to us the righteousness of Christ. We lose our sins and gain His righteousness. Christians know this is true by faith. This faith is a gift from God and is the proof of our JUSTIFICATION status before God. “Therefore, having been JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” -Rom 5:12

“For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.’ But that no on is JUSTIFIED by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH”. -Gal 3:10-11

We (Jewish Christians) who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, knowing that a man is not JUSTIFIED by the works of the law BUT BY FAITH in Jesus Christ, even WE HAVE BELIEVED in Christ Jesus, that we might be JUSTIFIED BY FAITH in Christ and not by the works of the law; for BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW NO FLESH SHALL BE JUSTIFIED.” – Gal 2:15-16

Apostle James taught that “faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead”- James 2:17 Now he was not teaching that works of the law must accompany faith to be genuine faith. But instead, he was explaining that genuine faith would demonstrate in the heart of the believer as he shows faithful works of God’s grace. This includes brotherly love for one another, and so on. James said: “Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you MY FAITH BY MY WORKS”. -James 2:18

The distinguishing truth that James was teaching is that the works of the law do not justify anyone of prove that anyone has faith. Instead, it is works of righteousness, not the law, which confirms that a person has faith. It was Abraham’s faith at work that proved his JUSTIFICATION by faith. – James 2:21-24

Abraham’s faith was counted for righteousness before the Law of Moses was even given. Abraham had faith to believe God that he would be the father of many nations, even though he was 100 years old at the time. His wife, Sarah, bore his son Isaac. By faith, when he was tested, Abraham offered up Isaac even though God promised, “in Isaac your seed shall be called”. But he concluded by faith that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead. Abraham knew God had figuratively raised him and Sarah from the dead so that he could father a child at his old age. -Heb 11:11-12; 17-19; Rom 4:17-22

Therefore, JUSTIFICATION has two aspects. First, the pardon for and remission of our sins, including reconciliation to God and the end of His enmity against us; and Second, granting us the righteous status of Christ, including adoption as God’s heirs, giving us the Holy Spirit, and granting us eternal life. All born-again believers after 70ad enjoy this COMPLETLY FULFILLED JUSTIFICATIN NOW AND FOREVER!!

Sorry, it’s been a while since my last blog, the above is always a study guide from Michael Alan Nichols- I try to add my thoughts below his commentary.

I want to make it crystal clear that although this bible study I have been sharing from him is considered a ‘preterist view’ that I do not subscribe or assign myself any title’s or denomination- I do however consider myself a “FULFILLED COVENANT BELIEVER” and I do sort of label myself a “FULFILLED ESCHATOLOGY” MINISTER only for the understanding of where and what I believe, share, teach and preach.

I am 100 percent satisfied with the complete works of Christ and the cross. I live and breathe and have my very being in HIM and all that He has done for me. For in Him we live and move and exist [that is, in Him we actually have our being], as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’

I do not sit in fear or worry of an ‘end time’s’ nonsensical- mythological concoction.

I know He did what He said and said what He did! I believe in HIM as the complete prophecy – He is the living word of God come in the flesh to live, teach, fulfill all prophecy because He is the prophecy – the very center of the Whole bible and I am fully, and completely immersed in HIM! He was the prophecy of Isa 9:6 in all its completion. For to us a Child shall be born, to us a Son shall be given; And the government shall be upon His shoulder, And His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

*please note it is the lies of other religions that try to remove this truth and to deny He was God, that He shed His blood and that He died and resurrected – these are the Gospel principles that cleanse of us of all or sins, puts us in right standing with God and fulfilled the Old Covenant completely (the Old Heavens and Earth) to bring us into the NEW COVENANT (New Heavens and New Earth) ! ❤ You search and keep on searching and examining the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and yet it is those [very Scriptures] that testify about Me;-John 5:39

As someone that has a past of physic ability repented of (for not knowing) turned to prophet (the gift of prophecy) -I didn’t until 2022 realize that God gave me this Knowing so to see and understand the deception that has been infiltrating the world through the churches and political system. The very lies we have been so deeply indoctrinated in as a whole. I now spend my days rebuking the very lies that keep the false and counterfeit prophecies going! I will not stop – so until my dying day, I will continue to preach CHRIST AND HIS FINISHED WORKS!

As I feel like a Jonah tempted to run away from my calling, I know I cannot- but I must continue forward in the race I call life, because I only have a short time in this earthly realm to preach the beauty of the Gospel and to destroy the ‘works of the devil’ (anything opposing Christs complete work) with nothing but the Amazing UNADULTERATED WORD OF CHRIST!

*Okay, now for my thoughts on this specific blog topic, to those that believe in THE FINISHED WORKS OF CROSS- you know are clothed in the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST! So go ye’ therefore and preach the Gospel to all creation, generation after generation! 🙂 -Matt 28:19

All my JUSTIFIED IN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS LOVE, ❤ Diana xo 🙂

The term JUDGEMENT is often used in the Scriptures, [Generally, Hebrew: “mishat”- Strong’s #4941; and Greek: “krisis”- Strong’s #2920. It means verdict, sentence, condemnation, justice, and decision- for or against].

God told the Israelites that they shall observe His JUDGEMENTS and Keep His ordinances, to walk in them; I am the Lord your God (Lev. 18:4-5). Christians know that their praises, thanksgiving, prayers, and worship of God are words that confirm their status as born-again, redeemed sinners. Christ told the Jewish scribes and Pharisees:

“But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of JUDGEMENT. For by your words, you will be JUSTIFIED, and by your words you will be CONDEMNED.” – Matt 12:36-37

It was not only the Jewish leaders who would receive the JUDGEMENT, but all men are unrighteous and are subject to JUDGEMENT. – Rom 1:22-32. All of God’s JUDGEMENTS are true and righteous. -John 5:30;John 8:16; Rev 16:7; 19:2.

Christ told His disciples that He would go away and that the Holy Spirit would come to convict the world of SIN, and of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and of JUDGEMENT. All of His elect would receive atonement for their sins and be declared RIGHTEOUS by God. All unbelievers would be JUDGED FOR THEIR SIN. ‘satan’ also was already JUDGED!

“Nevertheless, I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the HELPER (Holy Spirit) will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the WORLD OF SIN, and of RIGHTEOUSNESS and of JUDGEMENT: OF SIN, because they DO NOT BELIEVE in Me; OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of JUDGEMENT, because the ruler of this world is JUDGED.”- John 16:7-10

Paul said that some men’s sins were clearly evident, preceding them to JUDGEMENT. But the sins of the other would not be revealed until the JUDGEMENT. The good works of the elect are clearly evident, and those that otherwise cannot be hidden. -1 Tim 5:24-25

The final JUDGMENT occurred in the second coming, Parousia of Christ in 66-70ad. The JUDGEMENT began first with the elect (the House of God) in 66-70ad -1 Pet 4:17. All genuine believers were JUDGED and found to be RIGHTEOUSS because Christ had atoned for their sins. They were awarded full consummated salvation in the presence of God in the New Jerusalem forever. The names of God’s elect believers throughout history are written in the Lamb’s book of Life. -Rev 21:7

Then it involved the JUDGEMENT of the Nations of Israel carried out by the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple The JUDGEMENTS were also completed for all the non-elect, unbelievers throughout history. They were found guilty of being unrighteous, rebellious, and unredeemed sinners, and were sentenced to the Lake of Fire for eternity. – Rev 20:15

Human history continues forever. Everyone’s destiny was determined in 70ad. Upon their deaths, the elect goes to heaven and the non-elect got to the Lake of Fire forever.

Sorry, I haven’t written a blog in months- however I was asked a question today about where I thought we were on the “timeline” and it was said that we are in ‘satan’s little season’ which I’ve NEVER partook in the deception of the satan fable (Jewish mystism).. I also do NOT think that after the ‘final JUDGEMENT’ In 70ad does anyone go to the “lake of fire” I simply think thy cease to exist, because they chose not be believe in LIFE (Christ is the Life and the Resurrection)- Key being the word “FINAL Judgement” (again happened in 70ad) and all the elements of the Old Testament and Old Religious system( the power of Law, Sin and Death aka ‘satan’ was melted (burned in the Lake of Fire) during the Roman/Jewish war.

Also, The whole purpose of the physical body of Christ was to pay our penalty to sin, the power of law, sin and eternal death has no power over us because He had defeated all the ‘wiles of the devil’ (the power of the Law, sin and death). The physical body had to die in order to shed His blood for our redemption as the last “sacrificial lamb!”

With all that said, I wanted to share my response to the question of where I thought we were on the “timeline” and did I think we were in satan’s little season. (I get this question a lot)- so here is my answer:

Most deception we see today is because people add to the scriptures. The key to scripture is to keep it in context and to literally study out the context, history, audience relevance and the language. We are not in satan’s little season because satan isn’t some mythical being for one. and NO matter what we have been indoctrinated to believe about, “him” is that The Cross of Christ defeated IT! The power of Law, sin and eternal death was defeated at the cross. The scripture interpertED the scripture; meaning that for every ‘prophecy’ spoke in scripture, it is IN the scripture that it is interpreted. BTW Christ is the WHOLE PROPECHY. It is all finished. We are now to only preach the good news gospel and understand that all evil we see in the world is due to deception that man allows to fester within their hearts; and Knowing Jesus and accepting Him as the Messiah, Lord and Savior will change our hearts one person at a time. Salvation is an individual thing. All the sensationalism surrounding the scriptures is what I’m happy to be removed from. Once I seen this truth everything else stated to make sense and I can stay In His perfect peace even during the chaos. We are to be In the World but not of the world. We are to be the light in the dankness. Remember that in exposing the darkness we are simply to be the light – we are NOT to simply talk about it and continually add to the fallacies of it. For me when I simply studied out the words of Christ I seen clearly what generation HE was speaking too.. the one He was in. When we quit chasing all the mysticism and simply allow the Holy Spirit to be our teacher and remove all the “movements” and “timelines” and “seasons” and simply walk out the Gospel because we are the RETURN of CHRIST ! We are the NEW TEMPLE walking, talking, being the NEW BODY of CHRIST! So many wasting time and energy on the Liars fallacies. All of it is a distraction.

We are after the Cross of redemption we are of the New Will and Testament, so we don’t need to continue in all the lies that the synagogue of satan wants us to stay stuck in! Time for us to walk out our salvation and preach the Gospel without distraction.

The whole ‘future coming’ is deception too. People do not understand the purpose of the physical body of Christ. And to keep us waiting for Him to “come back” in the flesh is one of the deceptions the elite keep upon us. The Generation Christ was in, all of the prophecy was complete. To continue to wait and wait and wait is to keep all the fake prophecies coming. We keep the darkness here with us because we don’t understand the truth of What Christ came to accomplish and most don’t even understand who He is, they still separate the Father and the son because they fail to understand the progression of prophecy. But none of this understanding comes over night but in a faith walk with Christ and Christ alone. I Had to walk away from all the ‘doctrines’ ‘theologies’ and ‘eschatology’s’ and simple allow Christ words to teach me. Why do we seek more than a relationship with Christ? Why do we continue to seek the ‘knowledge of good and evil’ instead of seeking the ‘TREE OF LIFE!” I’m a complete peace knowing my Christ said what He meant and meant what He said.

All my Complete in Christ Redemption, LOVE, Diana xo 🙂

The ETERNAL SECURITY of the believer is connected to the doctrine of election. God has chosen or elected His people before the foundation of the world. If God has chosen us, we are eternally SECURE because of Him and not because of us or anyone else.

“Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors THROUGH HIM who loved us. For i am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, SHALL BE ABLE TO SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” – Rom 8:37-39

ETERNAL SECURITY for the believer is described as “once saved, always saved’. That is correct, but it involves more than that. It is possible because God continues in love for His saints. It is connected to the providence of God. ETERNAL SECURITY of the believer is because of God, not because of man or his efforts. God has elected His saints to be saved and that election is without any conditions. It is security that is in Christ, because of Christ, and for the glory of Christ.

“And He said, ‘Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been GRANTED TO HIM by my Father.'”- John 6:65

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I GIVE THEM ETERNAL LIFE, AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH; neither shall anyone, SNATCH THEM OUT OF MY HAND. My Father, who has GIVEN THEM to Me, is greater than all; and NO ONE IS ABLE TO SNATCH THEM OUT OF MY FATHER’S HAND.” – John 10:27-29

“In Him also we HAVE OBTAINED an inheritance, being PREDESTINED according to the purpose of Him who works all things ACCORDING TO THE COUNSEL OF HIS WILL.” -Eph 1:11

“But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because GOD FROM THE BEGINNING CHOSE YOU FOR SALVATION through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, to which HE CALLED YOU by our gospel, for obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.”- 2 Thess 2:13-14

So, we know that our salvation is secure because we have Jesus Christ, as our Lord and Savior. We can confidently continue to believe in Him because He has saved us and given us all that we need to be ETERNALLY SECURE is in Christ. God our Savior is able to keep us from losing our salvation.

“And this is the testimony: that God HAS GIVEN US ETERNAL LIFE, and this life is in Jesus. He who has Jesus HAS LIFE; He who does not have Jesus does not have life. These are the things I have written to you WHO BELIEVE in the Name of Jesus, that YOU MAY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, and that you may CONTINUE TO BELIEVE in the name of JESUS.”- 1 John 5:11-13

”Now to Him who is able TO KEEP YOU from stumbling, and TO PRESENT YOU FAULTLESS BEFORE THE PRESENCE OF HIS GLORY with exceeding joy, to God our Savior, who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, BOTH NOW AND FOREVER. Amen. – Jude 1:24-25

_________________________________________________________________________

I LOVED this lesson! My personal testimony with my day of salvation was when I was 13 years old. I was in a youth group with my church called CYC (Christian Youth Cadets). We would do a lot of fun activities and go on may adventures with our youth group leaders. We did have scriptures to memorize and recite and one day I was asked if we would like to be ‘born again’. I was not raised Catholic although my parents both were, and although they baptized me as an infant, my mother decided to send me to a non-denominational congregation. Here they simply taught us the LOVE of CHRIST, that Christ was Salvation and that all we needed was to belief in our hearts and confess with our mouths that HE was Lord, and He rose from the Dead to bring us unto this salvation.

because if you acknowledge and confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord [recognizing His power, authority, and majesty as God], and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart a person believes [in Christ as Savior] resulting in his justification [that is, being made righteous—being freed of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]; and with the mouth he acknowledges and confesses [his faith openly], resulting in and confirming [his] salvation.- Rom 10:9-10

Now, I know many struggles with “once saved, always saved” concept, many call it slippery grace. But I do know for me that confession was from my heart, and I truly believed in the simplicity of Christ and the finished works at the cross. I have spent my days knowing on a deep level that My salvation was going to be CHRIST BASED AND NOT WORKS BASED. However, I also knew that if I trusted and put my faith ON HIM that HE would sustain me, lead, me and guide me. I was in no way a perfect teen, nor did I remain unblemished, but It was by the very power of my intimate relationship with Christ that He remain faithful to me even if I wasn’t perfect. See It isn’t by our ‘perfection’ that we are saved but IT IS BY HIS PERFECTION THAT WE ARE SUSTAINED! NOTHING-ABSOLULTEY NOTHING CAN PLUCK US OUT OF HIS HANDS.

To add to this testimony: When I first built and bought this house a knock came to my door and it was a ‘man of God’ and when I opened my door, His very first words to me was, “If you died today would you go to heaven?” I didn’t pause, I didn’t stop to evaluate my sins vs. my good deeds, I didn’t stop to think (and I am a thinker in most things), I immediately said, “YES”! This man became our pastor for many years, a pastor that ordained me 12 years later into the Christian ministry. This church sent me to Bible college and so much awesomeness and love came from that journey. My pastor shared this story with many (never sharing my name) because he had been walking home to home asking this question and I as the only way to say undoubtably “YES”. Everyone else said they were NOT sure about their salvation. I found it very sad to realize so many had no security in their relationship (or lack thereof) with their savior, they based their salvation on their ‘good deeds’ vs their sins. 😦

See it wasn’t by my merits that I believed I was saved but it was by my secure relationship with Christ that I knew He’d never ‘unsave’ me! This day was a day I knew I was no longer ‘insecure’ within myself, but I was IN SECURE love with my SAVIOR!

See our salvation is NOT about us, it is about What Christ did at Calvay! He completed the prophecy of Isa 9:6 – He was the ‘son born unto us’ that would be our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. IN HIM every jot and tittle is complete! We can rest now in our ETRENAL SECURITY!

Those perfect infamous words’ “IT IS FINISHED” translates to ALL WHOM BELIEVE IN ME ARE IN ETERNAL SECURITY WITH ME! ❤

-All my IN SECURE ETERNAL LOVE, ❤ Diana xo 🙂

*Edited added -Note: Take heed, anyone can walk out of their salvation though, just like in any relationship- we can choose to leave because we have freewill to make HIS GRACE NOT SUFFICNENT for us. OUR God is not a God of forcing relationship upon us. So, although we can never be PLUCKED out of HIS hands, we can free-willingly choose to leave His loving hands. And that is the tragic truth.

The ELECT OF GOD are those who have been chosen by God for salvation. Divine ELECTION is unconditional. It is not based on the character of work of an individual. God’s ELECTION of His chosen ones is not based upon foreseen faith in the future. It is strictly a sovereign choice by God.

*[I do not agree- will share my thoughts at the end of blog].

Without ELECTION, No one would be saved. Man is in a fallen state and is incapable of choosing to believe in God. It is only when he is regenerated and born-again spiritually by the Holy Spirit that anyone is able to have faith to believe in Christ. The salvation of the ELECT OF GOD is God’s work from before the foundation of the world. No one can boast for any part of his or her salvation. God has done it all!!

But God, who is RICH IN MERCY, because of HIS GREAT LOVE with which HE LOVED US, even when we were DEAD in trespasses, MADE US ALIVE together with Christ (BY GRACE YOU HAVE BEEN SAVED), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of HIS GRACE in HIS KINDNESS TOWARD US in Christ Jesus. For by GRACE, you have been SAVED through FAITH, AND THAT not of yourselves; it is a GIFT OF GOD, not of works, LEST ANYONE SHOULD BOAST.”- Eph 2:4-9

God plans everything; that is called “foreordination”. God determines the eternal destiny of every human who lives throughout all of human history; that is called “predestination”. God chooses each and every one of His saved people; that is called “ELECTION”.

*Please note: [I don’t agree with this perception].

Everyone of God’s ELECT was known and loved by God before the foundation of the word, which is called ‘foreknowledge”, It is not simply referring to God’s knowing that in the future a person would believe in Christ. But it is the deepest love, mercy, and grace, from God towards His elect. It is not based on anything they have done, are doing or might do in the future. But His love for His ELECT is based entirely on the good pleasure of God’s will.

* [I don’t agree with this perception].

For whom He foreknew, He also PREDESTINED to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He PREDESTINED, He also CALLED; whom He called, these He also JUSTIFIED; and whom He justified, these He also GLORIFIED.”- Rom 8:29-30

The ELECTION of His saints proves several truths about God. It confirms that He is sovereign over His creation. It displays that all of His judgements are perfect. It illustrates that what He ordains shall come to pass, with no exceptions. People may not believe in Him; some may even hate Him; many may choose other gods; but ALL shall know that Almighty God is an eternal, wise and sovereign God!

“Just as HE CHOSE US in Him BEFORE THE FOUNDATOINS OF THE WORLD, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having PREDESTINED us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the GOOD PLEASURE OF HIS WILL.”- Eph 1:4-5

“All that the Father GIVES ME WILL COME TO ME, and the one who comes to Me I will be by no means cast out.” – John 6:37

“And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that NO ONE CAN COME TO ME unless It has been GRANTED TO HIM by My Father.”- John 6:65

“Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And AS MANY HAD BEEN APPOINTED TO ETERNAL LIFE BELIEVED.”-Acts 13:48

“So, then it is NOT of him who wills, NOR of him who runs, but OF GOD who shows MERCY.”- Rom 9:16

“but we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God FROM THE BEGINNING CHOSE YOU FOR SALVATION through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in truth.”- 2 Thess 2;13.

“WHO HAS SAVED US and called us with a holy calling, NOT ACCORDING TO OUR WORKS, but according to HIS OWN PURPOSE AND GRACE which was GIVEN US in Christ Jesus BEFORE TIME BEGAN.”- 2 Tim 1:9

The fact that all Christians are ELECT OF GOD should cause us to praise Him and to thank Him. If God had not chosen His ELECT no one would be saved. We should also be very secure in our salvation. Knowing that it is God who chose us, gave us the Holy Spirit, and granted us the faith to believe; it is a secure as it gets for us.

If anyone doubts whether or not he or she is ELECT, the solution is to cancel that doubt, lies in our attitude towards Jesus Christ. What do we believe is His role in our salvation? What is our role? These answers are only found in the Scriptures.

Christians are able to have confidence in their ELECTION and SALVATION by faithfully studying the Word of God, the Bible. The more we CORRECTLY UNDERSTAND the Bible, the more secure and complete in Christ we become. Our ELECTION in Christ does not change with Bible study, but our UNDERSTANDING and confidence of our election changes.

“BE DILLIGENT to present yourself APPROVED to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD OF TRUTH!”- 2 Tim 2:15

_________________________________________________________________________

*My thoughts: I want to base this off of the very perfect Character of God, God is NOT partial, and He does NOT pick favorites, however, He does choose those He foreknew would accept His calling upon their lives. God does NOT call the qualified, but He does qualify the called. God is a God of freewill, therefore those He calls must answer the call. Our faith is in Him and not of ourselves so we cannot boast; However, just as a Bride has freewill to accept the proposal, and a person has the right to accept or deny any position offered to them we all have the very same freewill to accept the Groom and the position granted to us. God is NOT a tyrant, so I truly do not agree with the perception of this lesson that was presented under the guise of “Sovereignty of God” this is yet another one of those “God is in control” theories that I do NOT agree with because I belong to Gentleman!

Jesus Christ is a loving, freewill savior with no conditions attached but to believe and receive the proposal.

With that I pray that the eyes of all our hearts be enlightened to His Calling for our lives! May we accept these awesome positions He grants to us who choose to believe!

[I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people),and [so that you will begin to know] what the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His [active, spiritual] power is in us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength. – Eph 1:18-19

All my predestined, preordained, appointed, elected, selected, chosen and justified love,

❤ Diana xo, 🙂
