PREDESTINATION
It was before the creation of the earth that Sons of God
ARE TO BE HOLY AND BLAMELESS.
They were to be HOLY AND BLAMELESS, before man was
created.
At the time of Creation, Satan’s fall to become an enemy
of God, HAD NOT TAKEN PLACE.
Ezekiel 28: 13-19
Isaiah 14: 12-17 Genesis 3:
24 (Genesis 6:2)
God would have angelic beings to be Holy and Blameless or
they could not stand before Him.
His purpose was the same for Adam, with the
expectation of man to live before Him and to be Holy and Blameless. They were to do so IF THEY WOULD GO to
heaven that God had prepared : Heavens that He wanted to fill.
As a result of Adam’s sin no man ever entered heaven. John 3: 13
However, as a result of Jesus’ work for His God and
Father, man can now enter the heavenlies, sit in the heavenlies and stand with
all boldness before the Father ON THE CONDITION that they know the work of the
cross for TRESPASSES and know the work of Baptism with Holy
Spirit, which is only given to those who know the preceding, potent work of
being raised out of death by God the Father Himself.
Ephesians 2: 6
Colossians 3: 1-3 Romans 5:
15-21 Galatians 3: 14
It is only due to this work that one knows the Father’s
Promise because of being raised by Him out of death and forgiven ALL SINS. One is then seen as being Holy and
Blameless, without condemnation. This
is what a believer must know to enter the position of being a Son of God,
Co-heir with Christ, by whose work and obedience to His God and Father, a
believer can enter this position.
Colossians 2: 13
Romans 8: 1-2 Romans 8:
17 Romans 8: 28-30
N.B.: TO
PREDESTINATE IS TO PURPOSE - GOD’S PURPOSE THAT WE ARE LIKE HIS SON - BY
OUR CHOOSING TO BE. i.e. TO CONFORM TO GOD’S WILL, NOT OURS.
This is an awesome position and it is for all who would
choose to do the Will of God The Father.
N.B.: It is what a
man chooses that will determine being chosen to enter eternal life, or be
rejected. This is determined by
obedience to God’s Will.
Ephesians 1: 13-14
Through Christ, the heavens become open for those who
believe. His work is to fill the
heavens; but he well not with apathetic
believers but only with those who do His God and Father’s Will. Romans 8: 29-30
i.e. TO KNOW the
work of the cross. Galatians 3:
22
TO KNOW the Baptism with Holy Spirit John 1: 29 Matthew 3: 11-12
Galatians 3: 14
Romans 6: 2-14 Colossians 2:
9-13 Romans 2: 29** Jeremiah 9: 25
These are those who are IN CHRIST which means to be IN THE
BODY OF CHRIST –
1 Corinthians 12: 13-18** See Colossians 1: 27 (speaking of the work through the cross :
Christ In You) Colossians 1: 28
(speaking of the work through Baptism with Holy Spirit : You IN CHRIST)
Romans 8: 10 & 11
It is only those IN CHRIST who sit in the
heavenlies….and it is only those IN CHRIST who will be RAISED OR TAKEN
FIRST. 1 Thessalonians 4: 16, and who
will be Judged by Christ.
Matthew 7: 21-23
2 Corinthians 5: 10 Revelation
20: 4-6
It is not only an eternal destiny that God has chosen for
man but a glory of being Sons of God who are to be HOLY AND BLAMELESS before
Him.
By not being this, man chooses HIS OWN ETERNAL DESTINY, and
will know cursing and not blessing.
Salvation, full salvation is for all men to CHOOSE. Galatians 3: 22. This salvation which God and His Son paid a great price for it to
be possible for those who would choose to be right before God.
Ephesians 3: 14
Jesus was God’s Lamb.
John 1: 29
