OTHER PAPERS THAT DISCUSS
THESE TOPICS SEE:
I) ALL MEN ARE SINNERS:
Mankind goes its own way and sins. He can control the degree and number of sins but can not stop himself. He is in bondage to Satan and sin. Only God can change that person.
II) RESULTS OF BEING A
SINNER:
III) WHAT ABOUT ANY WHO
HAVE NOT HEARD?:
IV) DOES GOD FORESEE MAN'S GOODNESS AND REWARD HIM WITH ETERNAL LIFE?:
These scriptures show man is only evil and can
not do good.
Man is born a sinner and then
will sin as his natural self and his evil will does. How can evil do not good? How can an omniscient God look down the
ages to see some one who will believe except He intervene with changing the
person by His grace?
The men who can not follow God are doing their natural evil,
self-centered, and fleshly acts which is because of their being born with sin
and are sinners. They can not do good because the scriptures show they are evil.
The order to follow
God is you can hear God's words and believe on Jesus. This applies
to making a choice for good for God or having faith which is
from God to man just as grace is from God to man.
Scriptures show man's total depravity. Grace is one way from God towards man. We can only receive the gift when God send it.
V) ARE SOME CALLED (ORDAINED) TO BE LOST?:
Esau was hated by God before birth or doing good or bad with his life. Pharaoh was raised up that God might show his power in him. Some vessel's made for honor and other vessel's made for dishonor.
VI) ARE SOME CALLED (ORDAINED) TO BE SAVED?:
VII) WHAT IF A PERSON
DOES NOT CALL UPON THE LORD JESUS?:
VIII) WHO WILL CALL UPON THE LORD JESUS?:
IX) HOW IS ONE SAVED?:
Man deserves death and punishment, separation from God, for sin. God's love and grace has saved some and all other's will be lost.
Those that are the saved, will repent (change) of their sins and will call upon the Lord. They will pray to Jesus something like this: Father, I know I am a sinner. I asked for your forgiveness and help me to repent. Come in to my life and be my Lord. Help me to speak to others about your paying for my sins on the cross. In Jesus name I ask this. Amen.
If you prayed that pray and trusting in the promises of God's word, the Bible, you are one of the called, elected, and chosen.
