1 Timothy 1:9
“[God] has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not
according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was
given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.”
In my last meditation I said one of the reasons that we can
be comforted by the doctrine of election is that we know that we are elect, and
our election is sure. We will be saved! These are two key concepts, and call
for further explanation. How do we know we are elect, and how do we know we
will be saved because of that?
