No man is pre-ordained unto Damnation
Aim: to understand God’s plan of salvation, and to by understanding dispel all wrong mindset of God nepotistic, tribalistic, or any discriminative “election” and “predestination” conspiracy.
We should understand the dealings of God with men clearly. God does not want us to be in the dark.
Outline I
For all… sinned
For ALL HAVE
SINNED, and come short of the glory of God; (Romans 3:23 KJV)
Wherefore, as by
one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon ALL
MEN, for that ALL HAVE SINNED: (Romans 5:12 KJV)
For God hath
concluded them ALL IN UNBELIEF, that he might have mercy upon ALL. (Romans
11:32 KJV)
But the scripture
hath concluded ALL UNDER SIN, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might
be given to THEM THAT BELIEVE. (Galatians 3:22 KJV)
The undeniable truth is that ALL were guilty of the fall. Therefore everybody needed a rescue. ALL have sinned; thus ALL needed salvation. The scriptures concluded ALL under sin. So if all were concluded under sin, some should not advantageously “earn” some undue magnetism from God.
No one deserved the help of God. Nobody deserved salvation. No one was qualified to write God a letter inviting Him to come to the rescue of man. Not even the Jews were God’s aide. All were disowned. All were separated from God. All we like sheep had gone astray (Isaiah 53:6). No one knew righteousness, i.e. no one had God’s phone number or even the right to call on Him. Everyone was in enmity against God. God had no friend. God had no “padi”. No one impressed God. No one interested God. No one was God’s guy. Men and women alike, not the old, not the young; not the mighty, not the weak; not the law-carriers, not the law-breakers and robbers on the street: all were under sin. If God must look for a justified method to rescue one, that one method must also work for just anybody (since nothing distinguishes any of them). Since they have the same problem (sin) and they are of the same kind (humanity), the drug (salvation) that will work for one, must work for all!
Everyone needed salvation! Everyone needed forgiveness. God has no preferential treatment.
Prayer: Lord I thank You for this understanding! Thank You for loving me!
