There Is A Remnant According To The Election Of God

There Is A Remnant According To The Election Of God
“Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work” (Romans 11:5-6). I love that inspired expression, “According to the election of grace.” Everything believers enjoy, all the spiritual blessings that are given unto us are according to the Lord’s; eternal love, sovereign mercy and electing grace (Rom. 9:11-16; Eph. 1:3-6; 2 Thes. 2:13). Had the Lord Jesus Christ not chosen us we never would have believed the gospel (John 15:16; Acts 13:48). Had He not put away our sin according to the riches of His grace we never would have experienced the forgiveness of sin (Eph. 1:7). Had the Lord Jesus Christ not called us out of darkness unto His marvelous light we never would have seen the glory of His person (2 Cor. 4:6). Had the Lord Jesus not supplied all our need according to the riches of His grace we would remain a bankrupt sinner on the dunghill of works (Phil. 4:19).Thanks be unto God that salvation is all of grace not of works, but rather because of His will and His purpose in the Lord Jesus Christ (Eph. 2:8-9; 2 Tim. 1:9; Titus 3:5). -Tom Harding
