Why did anybody become a Christian?

That is powerful!

It sure is

What’s his name?

I can never understand why this is controversial

People just don’t like that it’s God choice and not ours

Because we were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. Ephesians 1:4🙏🏼💖🥰

“He forgot to mention my superior humility”

🥰🤗🙏

Amen

He also said this: John 3:14-17 KJV — And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Just because He knew your answer before He made you didn't mean He didn't ask you.

Knowing is not causing. God chose you before the foundation of the world, based on what you will choose, today and all your other days. God exists outside of time and space. He sees everything that you're gonna be, and He chose you, to be His sheep, because He knew you would choose Him. Which is what He's been asking us to do all along. [Pro 1:20-33 ESV] Wisdom cries aloud in the street, in the markets she raises her voice; at the head of the noisy streets she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks: "How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge? If you turn at my reproof, behold, I will pour out my spirit to you; I will make my words known to you.Because I have called and you refused to listen, have stretched out my hand and no one has heeded, because you have ignored all my counsel and would have none of my reproof, I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when terror strikes you, when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently but will not find me. Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD, would have none of my counsel and despised all my reproof, therefore they shall eat the fruit of their way, and have their fill of their own devices. For the simple are killed by their turning away, and the complacency of fools destroys them; but whoever listens to me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster."

Great post! Super encouraging

He called and I responded. Pretty straightforward.

Excellent!!

@B1indmusic Absolute garbage 🤮 Jesus is King and everyone will be judged ACCORDING TO THEIR WORKS “He will reward each one according to his works: eternal life to those who by perseverance in good works seek glory and honor and immortality,” Romans 2:6-7 NET

Whosoever….He died for all his creation, but did you choose Him ??

Whosoever are the ones who come, not the cause of why they come. Jesus died for His people (John 10:11), His bride (Eph. 5:25), and all the Father gave Him (John 6:37). And no, I didn’t choose Him first. Scripture says He chose us and we love Him because He first loved us. My choice was real, but it’s a response, not the cause

Your post resembled Calvinism, only making a distinction between free will choice & chosen. First love is the same as He died for all, whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord. Words matter.

The servant, sent by Abraham, chose Rebekah to be Isaac‘s bride. But the decision to go with the servant was left to Rebekah. Think about it.

Amen!

Most people are raised in it.

It’s true.

Which preacher is this?

His mercy is so great, thank you God

I love that He first loved me and for Him to get ALL the glory ?? I love that too!

Is this available for me to share easily on Facebook?

screen record it! I tried sharing from my files but I’m not smart enough to do what it wants me to do

I actually just found their "Petals & Pillars" page on FB and found the video that way. Thanks!

Good deal!
