Your Election In Christ

Your election is in Christ unto salvation from eternal judgment. Christ is our deliverance from condemnation. Election is God the Father's choice to save sinners in Christ (Ephesians 1:4-6). Reprobation is the opposite of election. It is the choice of those who reject God's salvation in Christ (John 3:18).

Your election is in Christ by God's grace. He saves us from the condemnation of our sin. God's grace is his goodness, leading us to repentance (Romans 2:4). God commands all people everywhere to repent (Acts 17:30). Those who are lost reject God's grace and goodness (Hebrews 10:29).

Your election is in Christ confirmed through faith (2 Peter 1:1,10). Election gives mercy to sinners through Christ crucified (Romans 5:8). Christ risen from the dead brings justification to sinners by faith alone (Romans 4:5; 10:9). Faith in Christ makes our calling and election sure.

Your election is in Christ by God's will through the gospel. That is to say, our election is in Christ alone (1 Peter 1:1-2). Those who reject the gospel of Christ have no one to blame but themselves. Christ is God's Elect One, and we are elect in Christ (Isaiah 42:1; Ephesians 1:3-4).

Your election is in Christ to the praise of God's glory. God saves us by faith in Christ to the praise of His glorious grace (Ephesians 1:6). To the contrary, God allows those who are lost to reject Christ unto their own just condemnation (John 3:19, 36).

Christ Our Risen Lord

Believing in the risen Lord Jesus Christ saves you from sin and death. The promise of God states, If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Yes, Christ our risen Lord saves you as a believer.

Christ our risen Lord saves you, because of God's love, grace and power. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57). Death surrendered to the power of your risen Lord. By the power of the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ is risen to save you by God's love and grace. 

Death had reigned over all people everywhere in every age. Death would not be denied. Death had its way with all mankind. Death had reigned supreme over all without exception. For the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). Christ is risen to save you from the wages of sin.

The resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ one Sunday morning centuries ago was salvation for every believer. The earth quaked, rolling a stone away from the door of a tomb. The tomb was empty. Jesus lives! Jesus died for our sins (1 John 1:7). Jesus Christ our Lord is risen to save you from the condemnation of your sin.
