Ephesians; 1:4 - Election of church age believer. Conclusion of the elected priest. The calling of the elect.

I read an article yesterday about a company making microchips that would implanted inside a person all their knowledge, dislikes, likes, thoughts, dreams, etc. would be implanted on it. The article was entitled, "Humans to download their souls onto microchips so they can live forever."

Mr Skellett added: "Living forever might sound crazy at the moment because the technology isn't quite there, but we already have the technology to clone.

"The only thing is that something may be an exact replica in terms of DNA but it may be nothing like you because we are made up of both nature and nurture.

Isa 28:9 "To whom would He teach knowledge? And to whom would He interpret the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just taken from the breast?

Isa 28:10 "For He says, 'Order on order, order on order [command upon command], Line on line, line on line [verses upon verses], A little here, a little there [many writers].'"

Isa 28:11 Indeed, He will speak to this people Through stammering lips and a foreign tongue,

Isa 28:12 He who said to them, "Here is rest, give rest to the weary," And, "Here is repose," but they would not listen.

Isa 28:13 So the word of the Lord to them will be, "Order on order, order on order, Line on line, line on line, A little here, a little...

And to whom would He interpret the message?

Those just weaned from milk?

Those just taken from the breast?

Isa 28:10 "For He says,

'Order on order, order on order,

Line on line, line on line,

A little here, a little there.'"

Ephesians; 1:4 - Election of church age believer, part 45. The elected priest

Jesus Christ is the chosen and precious cornerstone of the house of God, of which, every church age believer is a living stone in that house.

Unfortunately, many, instead of receiving Him as the cornerstone, have rejected Him, and metaphorically stumbled over Him.

No one stumbles intentionally. There is a blindness involved. It is a spiritual blindness. It is not knowing the truth and rather accepting a lie. God gave His law and truth to one people, choosing them to be under His spotlight, so that the world could see the very real results of...

We are currently looking at passages in the NT concerning the election of the church age believer.

So far, we have covered:

3) Passages where election is applied to believers in this age:

3a. The elect are to reveal the emptiness of human desire for life without God, 1Co 1:27-29.

3b. Worldly status has no bearing on this position and the elect realize that they are poor in worldly good and rich towards God, Jam 2:5.

3c. Our election freely gives us all things. God will always be for us and His love will never separate from us, Rom 8:31-39.

3d. Election is to...
