#221-EP21 ~ Wonderful Promises that are ours to claim- Ephesians 1:11 & Romans 8:28
What all has been predetermined as blessings for all believers? This is a part of our subject matter on this video. I also mention an article on our website that is entitled–Predestination: Does God predetermine who’s going to hell? Two key passages are a part of all this video–
Ephesians 1:11
11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
The details of our eternal inheritance are not given. The blessings we have now are as we saw them earlier in this series of videos. Then we have this 2nd passage that speaks of these blessings as being good.
Romans 8:28
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
The subject in this verse is GOD, not ALL THINGS. As it is in the KJV it is mistranslated. ALL things don’t do anything here. It is God who works all things together for our good.
Question: How do we manifest our love for God?
John 14:14-15
14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Other verses discussed– Ephesians 5:18, 22, 25 We are under orders to observe all these commandments we’ve been given through Paul.
1 Corinthians 14:37-38
37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Obeying such commands has always been extremely important for all of God’s people.
