The LORD has made everything for its purpose, even the wicked for the day of trouble. Prov 16:4
...who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but
because of His own purpose and grace, which He gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began... 2 Tim 1:9
And He answered them,
“To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. Matt 13:11
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because Y
ou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes… Matt 11:25-26
...for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee,
but My Father which is in heaven. Matt 16:17
37All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will never cast out. John 6
...for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for
I have many in this city who are My people.” Acts 18:10
The
Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul. Acts 16:14
5So too at the present time there is a
remnant, chosen by grace. Rom 11
44No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
45It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’
Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me— John 6
10And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac,
11though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad—in order that God’s purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of
Him who calls—
12she was told, “The older will serve the younger.”
13As it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” Rom 9
...many are called but few are
chosen... Matt 22:14
...and those with Him are called and
chosen and faithful.” Rev 17:14
The
elect obtained it, but the rest were hardened... Rom 11:7
28As regards the gospel, they are enemies for your sake. But as regards election, they are beloved for the sake of their forefathers.
...for the sake of the
elect... Mark 13:20
...even the
elect... Mark 13:22
...gather His
elect... Mark 13:27
...to deceive, if possible, even the
elect... Matt 24:24
...they will gather His
elect... Matt 24:31
...the faith of God's
elect.... Titus 1:1
...for the sake of the
elect... 2Tim 2:10
...give justice to His
elect... Luke 18:7
11In Him we have obtained an inheritance,
having been predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, Eph 1
28And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.
29For those
whom He foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
30And those whom
He predestined He also called, and those whom He called He also justified, and those whom He justified he also glorified. Rom 8
4even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him.
In love 5He predestined us, for adoption to Himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will,
6to the praise of His glorious grace, with which He has blessed us in the Beloved. Eph 1
