2 Thessalonians 2:13 KJV
But we are
bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord,
because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through
sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
Two instruments are here said
to be used of God to choose us for salvation:
·
Sanctification
of the Spirit
·
Belief of
the truth
Truly being saved is a grand
work of God in our souls. We, who have believed, find that believing was not our
own but something God did in us. The Spirit of God so worked in us that, when
presented with the Gospel, we believed.
Not that we were the only
ones who could have believed.
·
The same
Spirit who worked in our hearts brings conviction to all
·
The same gospel
message that we believed is preached to all
·
The same
blood Christ shed that we might be saved was shed for all
This work is sufficient so
that "...whosoever shall call upon the name of The Lord shall be
saved."
But for those of us who are
saved, we have the pleasure of not just being forgiven but of obtaining the glory
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
