I don't have it all figured out.

Sometimes, I may appear to have it all figured out. I want you to know something. I do not. A lot of people know that I'm a "calvinist" and typically that word carries a bad connotation and seems to often be associated with some sort of christian elitism. I know what I believe, and I know why I believe it. This, however does not change my heart for the lost. Whether you be arminian, or calvinist, we are commanded to proclaim the gospel to all nations. Why is that? Because we don't know who will come to believe in Him.

You say you believe in free will and everyone has the chance to believe. Do you know who will believe on hearing? No you do not.

You say you don't believe in free will, and that God elects some to salvation and not others. Do you know who will come to believe? No you do not.

This debate isn't the primary issue. NOT EVEN CLOSE. This doesn't mean we need to skirt the issue underneath our beds and forget about it either. Somebody has to be right, but nobody will know for sure who that is until We come to be with Him. We might never know. This still doesn't mean God doesn't want us to search into the deeps and peer into the mysteries of His salvation. These are things angels long to peer into. Shouldn't we also? I encourage you to do so if you haven't. You just might learn something about God that you haven't before.

There is one thing I know for sure though. It is this. Christ Is glorious, and He is the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him. And how can they come if they have not heard? I want all to know to Jesus. I want all to be saved. If you're a believer, you should as well. As David cried, it is better to praise God for all eternity than to be seperated from Him forever. It is better to spend one day in His courts, then a thousand elsewhere.

This truth we cannot skirt under our beds. We must dig deep. We must yearn to see Christ for who He is through the scriptures, and proclaim Him as such. How many people today believe in a false jesus. A jesus that won't save anyone. A jesus of their own fabrications. Jesus is Glorious, so He must be proclaimed as such. I want to see Him for who He is. I want others to see Him for who He is. This is my heart- Christ is king. There might be a chosen people who only believe in Him by grace, and then everyone might be able to come to salvation. The point of the matter is, I don't know who that everyone is. I don't know who will be believe. I do know that Christ is glorious, that His salvation and is wonderful, and that He loves to save. I want to live like I believe that! Jesus Christ as the glorious son of God is the issue. His dying on the cross for sinners is the issue. Caring for someones soul and sharing the gospel with them, pointing them to the savior is the issue. This is all that matters. The rest is simply secondary.
