A Predestinatarian Hope

     We ought to look at the divine Word’s message as a predestinatarian hope in and through our Lord and King Jesus Christ.  We ought to look at it as a victorious predestinatarian hope because of the determined and predestinated events surrounding the life, death, burial and resurrection of our great God and Redeemer Jesus Christ.  Every single thing passes through the hands of Jesus that enters our lives.  We ought to gain encouragement because of a predestinatarian hope in Christ Jesus.  It is an encouragement to believe the gospel of grace and peace.  No one can believe in and of themselves, but it is by the Spirit of Christ and the Word of God.  We stand victorious over all sin because Jesus washes us whiter then snow.  No sin will be held against us because the predestinated believer has a true, firm and sure hope in Jesus Christ.  The world never forgets, but God never takes one sin into account that He has paid the debt for.  That really means that no person should hold sin against another but to be tenderhearted in forgiveness of each other.  There is no sin so great that will damn the elect or there is no sin so small as to take us out of the Triune grip of God.  It is a hope that never disappoints us and we are seated in the heavenly places with Jesus Christ.  Everyone of His predestinated people are called, justified, sanctified and glorified.   No one is left hanging or defeated.  Everyone who repents understands that we are vile people in the presence of a holy God.   The hope of forgiveness in faithful repentance is as sure as our flesh and bones once we ask for forgiveness of our sins no matter how hard it gets.  We can go through great trails and tribulations but forgiveness is ours freely and for the asking.  Predestination makes certain that all of us will get to heaven, because He predestinated us unto holiness without which no one will see the Lord.  The Lord will see us through and work through us to get into heaven with white garments as sheep of His fold.  Therefore we surely have a predestinatarian hope that is worth fighting for.   Amen.
