God Does Not Operate By CHANCE

There are those who do not believe that our physical universe was not realized by chance. Unfortunately, they believe that spiritual creation was realized by chance!

They believe that God offered mankind the wonderful gift of salvation and if by chance anyone who wants to accept it, then he will experience rebirth.

Could we not believe that even our spiritual rebirth does not depend on chance?

We have the gift of salvation not because we happened to accept it. To those who experienced spiritual creation – those who experienced salvation – they did, because God does not just offer it to them. He GAVE it to them.

The Sovereign God determined before the foundation of the world those who would be conformed to the image of His Son (Eph. 1:4-5) – who would be saved!

We accept the gift – not by chance – but God worked in us to will and to act (Phil. 2:13) -- He influenced our own will – so we would accept His gift.

If He will just leave us to our own so-called free choice, we will never do better than Adam and Eve (Please read my message The Most High CHOOSES at http://www.sermoncentral.com/sermon.asp?SermonID=97809).
