CHOSEN IN CHRIST

by
Scott Jones

When Christ was SETUP from the foundation of the world [Proverbs 8:22-36, Blood Of Jesus Christ I], all of the ELECT were simultaneously CHOSEN IN HIM, AT THE VERY SAME MOMENT, even down to the very number of their hairs. At the very MOMENT that Christ was CONSTITUTED as the MEDIATOR between God and men [1 Timothy 2:5, Blood Of Jesus Christ I], AT THAT VERY MOMENT, all of the ELECT were SIMULTANEOUSLY CONSTITUTED N HIM, in Christ. In other words, every single soul that would spend eternity with Christ was CONSTITUTED with Christ in the very MOMENT that Christ HIMSELF was CONSTITUTED as the MEDIATOR between God and men. See the following excursus to discover how Christ and his ELECT were CONSTITUTED from the foundation of the world, with Christ HIMSELF as the "beginning of the creation of God" [Blood Of Jesus Christ I, Revelation 3:14]. And not one single soul who was NOT constituted with Christ from the foundation of the world will enter the kingdom of heaven. Not one.

Does that mean that you should then just sit back and assume a fatalistic attitude about salvation?

Just the opposite. The fact of God's ELECTION puts INFINITELY MORE RESPONSIBILITY on YOU to SEEK God about the state of your own eternal soul than if he had NEVER actually elected ANYONE. Indeed, because God has done this, because God has ELECTED his own in Jesus Christ from the foundation of the world, he is therefore willing to MANIFEST HIMSELF to those whom he has CHOSEN, and thus if you never seek him EARNESTLY and FERVENTLY with DILIGENCE, then you have made a de facto case AGAINST YOURSELF, and have accordingly TESTIFIED AGAINST YOURSELF as NOT being one of those ELECT, and these promises from Jesus HIMSELF leaves you with ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER --

Not a SINGLE, SOLITARY SOUL that the Father has GIVEN to Jesus from the foundation of the world will FAIL to COME TO JESUS. Not one. EVERY SINGLE SOUL that the Father has GIVEN to Jesus from the foundation of the world WILL COME to Jesus WITHOUT EXCEPTION -- will come WITHOUT FAIL to Jesus. Not ONE will be missing. EVERY SINGLE SOUL WITHOUT EXCEPTION that the Father GAVE to Jesus from the foundation of the world, EVERY SINGLE SOUL that was CHOSEN IN CHRIST from the foundation of the world, will WITHOUT FAIL COME TO JESUS, and Jesus will BAPTIZE that soul IN THE HOLY GHOST AND WITH FIRE. Not one will be missing, not one exception will be made, for the Father has decreed it so.

Indeed, EVERY SINGLE PERSON - there are no exceptions - yea, EVERY single person who was given to Jesus Christ by the Father WILL COME to Jesus. Not one single person given to Jesus Christ by the Father will FAIL to come to Jesus. EVERY person given to Jesus by the Father WILL COME to Jesus - there are NO exceptions - and there is no power in heaven or earth or hell, or anywhere in all of creation, that can frustrate the Father's purpose herein, for as the Father has appointed the ENDS, so has he appointed the MEANS, and thus ALL that the Father has given to Jesus, even ALL, yea, ALL that the Father has given to Jesus WILL COME to Jesus - will come WITHOUT FAIL - aye, ALL that the Father has given to Jesus WILL COME to Jesus, ALL that the Father has given to Jesus will be brought to Jesus through the Father's appointed MEANS, even through the ministry of the Word and the SECRET INWARD CALL OF THE HOLY SPIRIT -- bringing to that soul that EVERLASTING AND SUPERNATURAL GOSPEL -- even the GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST, wherein the Word of God is preached to ALL MEN, but brought to the ELECT with POWER (for the Spirit blows where HE wills, not where man wills) -- even the RESURRECTION POWER OF JESUS CHRIST -- even to ALL that are genuinely born again, even to ALL that the Father has given to Jesus from the foundation of the world, even to ALL that the Father has CHOSEN IN CHRIST. [1 Thessalonians 1:4-5]

And therefore my friend, if you do not COME to Jesus, then you were NEVER CHOSEN IN JESUS CHRIST from the foundation of the world, as the ELECT are, for the above statements by Jesus are PROMISES from the CREATOR HIMSELF, and thus if you TRULY believed him, if you TRULY BELIEVED those verses, you would spend EVERY waking moment CALLING UPON HIM until he MANIFESTED HIMSELF to you in  the UNMISTAKABLE SUPERNATURAL MIRACLE of the NEW BIRTH, until he endued you with POWER FROM ON HIGH [Luke 24:49]... IF you TRULY BELIEVED in him you would give him no rest, just as the Syrophenician woman gave him no rest until Jesus healed her daughter [Matthew 15:22-28].

Yes, my friend, Jesus Christ can be KNOWN, and he can be KNOWN in a manner and to a depth beyond your WILDEST imagination, if you have never been GENUINELY born again, that is.

It takes POWER to become a son of God, and the ONLY way one can receive this POWER is from the direct hand of Jesus Christ HIMSELF, as it is written --

Those whom the Father has CHOSEN IN CHRIST from the foundation of the world WILL COME to Jesus Christ, will come RIGHTLY, will come by the DRAWING of the Father, as it is written again --

Have you been drawn by the Father? Don't delude yourself and think that you can become a Christian just any old time you please, for that false notion is one of Satan's finest showcases, and there are UNCOUNTED MULTITUDES in hell this very moment who THOUGHT they could put off settling their eternal state until a more convenient season. But they have all been deceived, for you can't be born again just any old time you please. No sir, not by a lifetime. It takes the DIRECT INTERVENTION of Jesus Christ HIMSELF to be born again, and Jesus Christ will deal with you -- if he deals with you at all -- on HIS timetable, NOT yours.

Take GREAT HEED to these words of J. C. Ryle --

Put off your soul's concerns until the morrow and you will likely NEVER hear that SECRET INWARD CALL of the Spirit, and without that SECRET INWARD CALL of the Holy Spirit, you are lost forever. Conversely, those who are CHOSEN IN CHRIST are those who seek God early.

Do you so seek?

Friend, YOU may have made a commitment to Jesus Christ, but unless you have EVIDENCE -- SUPERNATURAL EVIDENCE -- unless you have SUPERNATURAL EVIDENCE that Jesus Christ has made a commitment to YOU, by FILLING you with his Spirit, indeed, unless you have SUPERNATURAL EVIDENCE that Jesus Christ has made a commitment to YOU by FILLING you with his Spirit, EXACTLY as described in the quotations noted in these two works on the FILLING of the Holy Spirit -- Part I, Part II -- then you will NEVER enter the kingdom of heaven, for if Jesus Christ has not borne witness to you here by FILLING you with his Spirit, neither will he bear witness to you there, when you stand before him at his judgment seat.

Consequently, I challenge every one of you, every one of you reading this right now, to SERIOUSLY EXAMINE YOURSELF, and be BRUTALLY HONEST with YOURSELF, for you can NEVER be FILLED with the Holy Spirit until you are BORN of the Holy Spirit in a MANIFEST SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCE -- MANIFEST -- MANIFEST -- MANIFEST SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCE -- and you will NEVER be BORN of the Holy Spirit unless you are BRUTALLY HONEST about your condition [2 Corinthians 13:5]. Accordingly, I warn you again, if you cannot HONESTLY and LEGITIMATELY claim the EXPERIENCE of being FILLED with the Holy Spirit, EXACTLY as demonstrated in the quotations here -- Part I, Part II -- a FILLING which occurs IMMEDIATELY UPON the MOMENT of REGENERATION, then do something about it NOW, while you still can -- I say, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT NOW, WHILE YOU STILL CAN -- for if you INSIST on DECEIVING YOURSELF, God not only will NOT STOP YOU, but God will actually ENHANCE YOUR ABILITY to FURTHER DECEIVE YOURSELF, and God will do this by imposing JUDICIAL BLINDNESS upon you, for God HATES LIES, and there is NO LIE that God HATES WORSE than the SELF-DECEIVING LIE, for the SELF-DECEIVING LIE is ROOTED IN PRIDE, and that is the very NATURE of wickedness and iniquity [2 Thessalonians 2:11, John 8:44, Matthew 11:25-26].

Have you ever FELT, have you ever EXPERIENCED, the MANIFEST POWER of the Holy Spirit SUPERNATURALLY INDWELLING YOU? If not, then never think of going to heaven, for you are not yet meet for heaven. And yet...

I tell you -- and I call Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to record against that day I stand before the Lord Jesus at his judgment seat -- indeed, I tell you that Jesus Christ can be KNOWN, and KNOWN more INTIMATELY than ANY other person in existence. Jesus Christ is not only the source of all life, he is likewise the sustainer and dispenser of all life, and he is therefore capable of making HIMSELF MANIFEST to his ELECT more certainly than any created being can make himself known to you, exactly as he has promised in [John 14:21-23], and numerous other passages.

If you will not prize your soul above ALL ELSE, you will NEVER be granted a SAVING audience with Jesus Christ. Blind Bartimaeus, as recorded in the gospels, would be saved at all costs. Will you be saved at all costs? If you will not be saved at all costs, you will not be saved by Jesus Christ at all.

Would you be born again? GENUINELY born again?

Then take wise counsel -- pick up a Bible based on the Traditional Text -- in English, the ONLY VALID Bible based on the Traditional Text is the King James Bible -- and then read with SOLEMNITY, beginning in the Gospels preferably, and beg Jesus Christ to reveal himself to you, and give him no rest until he does, for if you read the TRUE written Word of God, you will find the Lord of Glory, even Jesus Christ, moving upon the face of the waters in its pages, just as he moved upon the face of the waters when he walked across the Sea of Galilee, and if you follow the advice just given, and if you persist, Jesus Christ HIMSELF will verily MANIFEST HIMSELF to you (for he HIMSELF promises to do this for those who truly heed this advice), just as he MANIFESTED HIMSELF to his disciples when he moved upon the face of the waters as he walked across the stormy sea some two thousand years ago, and just as he did with ME not too many years ago, and just as he has done with a FEW others from day to day since that time, in this very generation, and just as he will do for YOU if -- IF -- you heed my advice, and if -- IF -- you persist therein, for he who promised is FAITHFUL. John 14:21-23, Matthew 14:25-27
