Sovereignty, Holiness, and Usefulness

The truth is, God never gave Jacob a chance to be saved either, He just saved him, though he deserved Hell just like Esau.  Salvation is not a chance event, it is by the eternal, deliberate purpose of God in love and grace toward His chosen.  If God gives us what is fair, that is, if He bases His decision upon us having done any good or evil, we all shall perish forever under His infinite wrath.  (Rom 9:11-24)

Free grace no more makes a person want to sin than health makes a person want to get sick again. The notion of sovereign grace giving people a license to sin is the foolish excuse of Pharisees who are not willing to give up their own righteousness. God forbid such talk!

There are really only two kinds of preachers: those who use and those who are used. False prophets are preachers who use men for their own advantage. True prophets are preachers who are used of God for the benefit of his elect. — “And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where” (Luke 9:6).
