EVIDENCES OF ELECTION

THE BIBLICAL EVIDENCES OF ELECTION

          How can we know the elect? That we are elect?

     These questions are answered clearly!

            1. See Acts 13:48        "As many as were ordained to eternal life, believed."

            2. See John 10:27 "My sheep hear my voice, and they follow me."

            3. See 1 Pet. 1:2 "Elect...unto obedience."

4. See 1 Thess. 1                                    4. See 1 Thess. 1::3-5 "Knowing...your election of God... Gospel...followers of us."

                                    vs. 3 "work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope."

5. See 2 Pet. 1:1                                     5 See 2 Pet. 1:10 with 5-7 "To make your calling and election sure" --‑

                        "do these things"

Conclusion: It is nothing but utter foolishness for any man to regard himself as one of the elect while he is living in open sin, rebellion and disobedience to the known will of God. This does not mean that one of the elect may not fall into sin, but he will be very unhappy and will hear the voice of the Good Shepherd - "My sheep hear my voice." John 10:27
