Romans 9:16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.
God’s purpose is not established by man’s will, but the question “will you serve Him?”
must be answered by choosing to be obedient, as Paul testified to King Agrippa:
Acts 26:19 “Therefore, King Agrippa, I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.”
What then is accomplished by this divine purpose Paul describes?
Romans 9:11 For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil,
that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calls.
How then are we to apply this knowledge to our lives?
2 Peter 1:
10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and
election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
11 For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting
kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Our “entrance” into the eternal Kingdom of heaven
is the place we receive the “heavenly vision”.
Hold Fast Therefore Your Confession of Faith, and Find His Purpose For Your Life
Hebrews 10:
19 Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,
21 and having a High Priest over the house of God,
22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled
from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,
25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some,
but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
