Admin	Dividing The Sheep From The Goats Posted : 1 Sep, 2013 10:00 PM Eph 1:4 Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, {even} above reproach, before Him in love. Eph 1:5 For He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will [because it pleased Him and was His kind intent]- Eph 1:6 [So that we might be] to the praise {and} the commendation of His glorious grace (favor and mercy), which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. "We know of nothing so divisive between the sheep and the goats as a faithful exposition of this doctrine. If a servant of God accepts some new charge, and he wishes to ascertain which of his people desire the pure milk of the Word, and which prefer the Devil�s substitutes, let him deliver a series of sermons on this subject, and it will quickly be the means of �taking forth the precious from the vile� (Jer. 15:19). It was thus in the experience of the Divine Preacher: when Christ announced �no man can come unto Me, except it were given unto him of My Father,� we are told, �from that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him� (John 6:65, 66)! True it is that by no means all who intellectually receive �Calvinism� as a philosophy or theology, give evidence (in their daily lives) of regeneration, yet equally true is it that those who continue to cavil against and steadfastly refuse any part of the Truth, are not entitled to be regarded as Christians."
