A Remnant Chosen By Grace

From Wikipedia: The remnant is a recurring theme throughout the Hebrew and Christian Bible. The Anchor bible Dictionary describes it as “What is left of a community after it undergoes a catastrophe.” The concept has stronger representation in the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament than in the Christian New Testament.

The apostle Paul tells us that in every generation

There is a Remnant chosen by Grace. Listen:

So too, at the present time there is a Remnant chosen by Grace.

(Romans 11:5)

Out of Israel, the Church of the Old Testament,

In every generation there was a Remnant chosen by Grace.

In every generation since the resurrection of Christ Jesus,

Out of what is called His Church, there has been a Remnant chosen by Grace.

Why only a Remnant?

Because only a Remnant BELIEVES and puts that belief into action;

Only a Remnant offers their bodies to Christ Jesus as living sacrifices,

Holy and pleasing to God—which is our spiritual worship.

Not conforming any longer to the pattern of this world,

But being TRANSFORMED by the renewing of our minds;

Able to TEST and approve what God's will is--

His good, pleasing and perfect will. (Romans 12:1-2)

Isaiah cries out concerning Israel:

'Though the number of the Israelites be like the sand by the sea,

Only a Remnant will be saved.

For the Lord will carry out His sentence on earth with speed and finality.'

It is just as Isaiah said previously:

'Unless the Lord Almighty had left us descendants,

We would have been like Gomorrah.' (Romans 9:27-29)

Hate what is EVIL; cling to what is good.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.

Honor one another above yourselves.

Never lacking in ZEAL, but keep your spiritual FERVOR,

Serving the Lord.

Be joyful in Hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Share with God's people who are in need. Practice Hospitality.

'Love your neighbor as yourself.'

Love does no harm to its neighbor.

Therefore love is the fulfillment of the Law.

And do this, understanding the Present Time.

The Hour has come for you to WAKE UP FROM YOUR SLUMBER,

Because our Salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.

The NIGHT is nearly over; the DAY is almost here.

So let us behave decently, as in the Daytime,

Not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery,

Not in dissension and jealousy.

Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ,

And do not think about how to gratify the desires of the Sinful Nature.

(Romans 13:9-14)

Now to Him Who is able to establish you by my Gospel

And proclamation of Jesus Christ,

According to the Revelation of the Mystery hidden for long ages past,

but now revealed and made known through the Prophetic Writings

By the Command of the Eternal God,

So that ALL Nations might BELIEVE and OBEY Him--

To the only wise God be Glory FOREVER through Jesus Christ! Amen.

(Romans 16:25-27)

What is this Mystery?

Christ in you the Hope of Glory! (Colossians 1:27)

Christ Jesus living in and through you.

When the apostle Paul spoke these words

There were only two days remaining, two thousand years, of the NIGHT;

The NIGHT being the time before the Second Coming of Christ Jesus

Who will usher in the DAY;

When the kingdom of this world, Satan's kingdom,

Becomes the Kingdom of our Lord. (Revelation 11:15)

Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in you minds

Because of your EVIL behavior.

But now He has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death

To present you Holy in His sight, without blemish and free from accusation--

IF you continue in your Faith,

Established FIRM, not moved from the hope held out in The Gospel.

This is The Gospel that you heard

And that has been proclaimed to every creature under Heaven,

And of which I, Paul, have become a servant. (Colossians 1:21-23)

I pray that those who read this message are members

Of the Remnant chosen by Grace in this generation,

FIRMLY established is the Gospel of Christ Jesus,

Who will be participants in the coming DAY of Christ Jesus

When He returns to earth to establish His Kingdom FOREVER.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
