Earnestly Contending For The Faith That Was Once Delivered To The Saints
Now, God’s sovereign. Of course, He—He knows, “He is not willing that any should perish but all might come to repentance.” But in order to be God, He has to know, and He does know before the thing ever come to pass, who would be saved and who would not be saved. That’s right.
So there is some people that will not, and God knew it in the beginning they would not. And He even raised up Pharaoh and hardened his heart for that very cause, that He might show His power. And Esau and Jacob, to show the election of God might stand sure…

GOD,
BEFORE
THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD,
WHO
KNEW THE END
FROM THE BEGINNING
BY FOREKNOWLEDGE,
HE
ELECTED
WHERE
TO CUT.
HE
KNOWED
THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN
ESAU and JACOB.
HE
KNOWED
THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN
SAINT and SINNER.
HE
KNOWED
THE DIFFERENCE.
HE
KNOWS
THE MOTIVE
OF EVERY HEART,
SO
HE ELECTED
US
BEFORE
THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD,
and PUT OUR NAMES
ON THE LAMB’S BOOK OF LIFE;
and ALSO THE LAMB
THAT WAS TO BE SLAIN
(and PUT OUR NAMES
ON
BEFORE
HE WAS SLAIN),
and THE BIBLE said
THAT CHRIST WAS THE LAMB
SLAIN
BEFORE
THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.
And OUR NAMES
WERE
PUT ON THE BOOK
WHEN
HE WAS ELECTED BACK THERE
TO BE THE LAMB
TO BE SLAIN,
WE WERE
ELECTED
TO BE THE ONE
THAT HE WAS
SLAIN FOR.
SEE IT?
