The Election

The most important thing to ever happen,
The turning point in History for anyone,
The axis on which all of History rotates,
Is not the vote cast at the polling place.

Rather, the life given on the cross by our
Lord Jesus Christ purchasing souls and
The salvation of the whole world!

BC and AD revolve around Jesus Christ.
He has accomplished that which matters,
He alone directs the course of human events.
He alone is Sovereign, King of Kings indeed!

The election of the saints to salvation was His.
He chose before the foundations of the world
Those He would redeem for Himself.
He purchased us in time and space. Period.

Alas, the hope for social justice rests by faith
In the power of the Living God, in Him alone;
For who can reverse the Babel of selfishness?
We need the God-Man, we need Jesus the Christ.
Even so, come quickly Lord Jesus!

The idea that God is going to restore all the earth to faith in Him before He comes back is totally unscriptural.

Just sayin :)

Andrew,

Are you working as hard as you can to prevent all the earth from hearing and believing the "faith in Him?" Kind of like your comment the other day, "It is better for people in Africa not to be saved."

We are to disciple the nations, and He is with us always until the end of the age, my brother.
