Predestination does not scare me, becasue it does not nullify my free will. God has a plan for everyone's salvation and sactification. He wants all to be saved. However out of His respect for our free will, He gave us the choice to accept or refuse His plans for us. I pray that God reveals His plans for me every day through the Holy Spirit and gives me the spirit of obedience to walk in it.

The reality is we were slaves to Satan and to our sins, until JC died for us and purchased us from slavery by His blood, set us free then made us His brothers. We areno longer slaves but sons and daughters. The slave has no inheritance right , only the son. It not until we believe that God is our father and know our right of inherting the kingdom of heaven that we can actually receive it.

I have always thought that being Holy is not to sin. That was until I found Jesus Christ. he made me Holy by chosing me to be in Him because He is the source of all Holiness and wholeness. By His grace He has set me apart from my old world and set my eyes on Heaven. He has clothed me with His righteousness, and washed me with Hs precious blood, hence I am blameless in the Father's eyes only in Jesus Christ.

To be in Christ means to be a member is His body. ( Flesh of His flesh and bone of His bones).All believers are parts of JC body joint to gether as one unit.The Father accepts us because we are part of Christ. The implication os this to my life is: 1:I have to be useful member and to work in harmony with the other members for the sake of the whole body 2:I cannot use Christ's flesh and bones for sin.

I am a mother of 2 from Virginia. I pray that the Holy Spirit will guide us through this study so we may grow in Christ. Amen
