Bible Verses
Gen 25:23 And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in your
womb... and the one people shall be stronger than the other
people. And the older shall serve the younger.
Rom 9:11 Though the children had not yet been born nor had
done anything good or bad (that the purpose of God according
to selection might remain, not of works but of Him who calls),
(12) It was said to her, „The greater shall serve the
less‰....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words of Ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Jacob, we see God's selection, the matter of Jacob's being
chosen. Do you believe that you have been chosen? I would
still ask this question: how do we know from our experience
that we have been chosen by God? We know it by the fact that
we cannot get away from Him. During the past fifty years of my
Christian life, I have tried many times to get away from the
Lord. I have even said to Him, „Lord, I am tired of the
Christian life. I am running away.‰ Although I tried to run
away, I could not do it.
Try your best to do it, telling Him, „Lord, I don't love You
anymore. I'm through with being a Christian.‰ You may say this
to the Lord, but He will reply, „Are you through with Me? It's
not up to you. You may be through, but I am not. Where shall
you go˜to Egypt? If you go there, I'll go there to wait for
you. When you get there, you will find that I'm already
there.‰ We all have been trapped, and there is no escape. This
is a strong proof that we have been chosen by God.
