The election of God is the act of God choosing those who will be saved, unconditionally, before the foundation of the world. It is of God’s mercy and does not depend on anything but God and His plan for the whole. No one can earn it through good works or future faith, it has already been done. But we must be equipped (through Him and by Him) with the knowledge of Him. When someone whom YHWH, God, has elected, come on the scene, he/she is a person who has been destined to perform a task that will help usher in a dramatic change in the course of men lives; to save or serve others or both. (Romans 9:1616 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy).
From the very beginning, when time was none existing, God chose those whom He willed to be saved no matter what; all for the working of His plan, to show His power, and might. Abraham (The Father of Many Nation), Isaac (the son of Abraham and Sarah, the father of Jacob and Esau, and the grandfather of the twelve tribes of Israel), Jacob (born to Isaac and Rebecca, stole the birthright and blessing from his twin brother Esau. He wrestled with God and God changed his name to Israel), Moses (a prophet who received the Ten Commandments from Yahweh/God. He led the Israelites out of slavery and parted the Red Sea). Noah (found grace with God, walked with integrity, was obedient, revered God, and shared his faith with others. The patriarch who, because of his blameless piety, was chosen by God to perpetuate the human race after his wicked contemporaries had perished in the Flood). Even Pharoah had a pivotal role to play in God’s plan; to show His might, mercy, power, and sovereignty. (Romans 9:17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth). All were chosen, before their birth, to do great things unto the LORD. (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 calleth;)
We, all, are God’s uniquely crafted handiwork. The box which the world has designed for you to fit in may not contain your content because it is for the LORD’s service. And you have been chosen by Him for a special purpose; predestined unto salvation and to be used by our Father in any capacity deemed necessary. (Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them).
But the coupe de gras, the final blow on man’s attempt to get it right, which failed every time was the greatest election ever. This election took place when our Father God chose to elect our Lord and Saviour, Jesus; chosen to do what no man was and still is, capable of doing. It took place within the confines of God’s being only; it is good and more than righteous; not reasoned nor would have ever been realized by man. But Jesus, born God the Son, was the Lord who chose Himself to do the greatest thing for His creation. Jesus capped it off, stopped the presses when He became the headline, the ultimate sacrifice. He elected Himself to the highest office. There was nothing else to be done, He did it all. Which included serving and saving the whole of mankind. (Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations).
Take Jonah, for instance. He is another good example of how God does not choose those that man would, but the ones who are the unlikely ones to be chosen. Jona ran and he ran. God got tired of his disobeying, allowed a fish to swallow him to show him that running will not get you out of what God has elected you to do; no matter how good, bad, or ugly you think it is. You will know what it is and if it is the will of God when it continuously come up from your heart not your head. Finally, Jonah got it. God did not quit insisting, Jonah quit running. (Read the entire account of Jonah’s in either of these Books of the Bible: 2 Kings 14:25, the book of Jonah, Matthew 12:39-41, 16:4, and Luke 11:29-32 and learn how he took flight and how that worked out). All of these men were born with an unhealthy degree of a sinful nature but yet and He still does, God chose them, before their birth, to represent Him in a great way. (Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations).
Know this for a fact, that no matter how fast you run nor how well you try and hide, when God has put His mark upon you from before you were in your mother’s womb, (this is called an election), to do what God has for you to do, you will eventually fall in line with the election.
In an election, there is nothing that a person can do to change it. It has been determined, by God, and that is that. I am quite sure that Pharoah would have been more agreeable with what the LORD told Moses to tell him if he had known the outcome; if he had known that he was chosen, by God, for such a purpose; to be on the other end of God’s power. Romans 9:15-17 15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. 17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth). Regardless of what gifts or talents you have or do not have, God has chosen you (from the beginning of time) for a specific purpose and it is/was and will not ever be based on them. GOD’D GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
John 15:16 – Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
