Israel And The Church #3 53-0327

In the garden of Eden, when man realized he had sinned, he tried to make hisself a religion, a covering. The word religion means “covering.” And Adam and Eve sewed fig leaves together, and made themself a religion. And since then it’s been a strain of man down through the age, trying to do something to save hisself.

But you are saved by grace, election, God’s foreknowledge, predestination, foreordination. Paul tells the church at Ephesus, that, “God predestinated us in Christ before the foundation of the world.” Think of it! “Predestinated us in Christ before the foundation of the world.” What we worried about then? Get away from the worry, we’re just the happiest creatures you could ever have seen. My, how can you believe that and keep from being happy?
