My new Pastor was relating that he had been teaching the doctrine of election in his old church Sunday school..one of the students (that now attends the start up) is a very simple uncomplicated man that will ask a question in the middle of a sermon
When Jeff had finished the class , the man that had never before heard the doctrine of election taught before,said to him "let me get this straight, God picks the elect??"
Jeff responded " yes Joe that is correct"
Joe's eyes widdened and he said to Jeff.."WOW I am so glad He picked me"
The awe and graditude to God were palpable...What a shame that all of Gods people can not feel a sense of absolute gratitude to the one that made us and elected us and saved us and keeps us...What a mighty God we serve!
I just don't understand why this isn't everyone's reaction to the doctrine of election.
