Only those who are given or entrusted by
the Father to Jesus Christ, our Lord assures, could be with Him in the
Holy City to see His glory. Christ will certainly not cast out nor reject anyone of those people
who were given to Him by the
Father.
50B.1 How does the Father give or
bring men unto Christ?
Surely, not all people can enter God's kingdom. Only those
given by the father to Christ can be raised up to join Him on His Second
Advent.
In I Corinthians 1:9, it is written:
God is faithful, by whom you were called into
the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. (NKJV)
God calls people into companionship or fellowship with His Son Jesus
Christ.
50B.2 How
does God call men to the fellowship with our Lord Jesus Christ?
In II Thessalonians 2:14, Apostle Paul answers:
To which He called you by our Gospel,
for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. (NKJV)
God calls people through the teaching
of the Gospel.
50B.3
What comes after
hearing the Gospel?
In Romans 10:17, the words of Apostle Paul is clear:
So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
(NKJV)
Faith comes to a man after
hearing the words of God. God calls people through the teaching
of the Gospel.
50B.4
What should be the
ultimate goal of our faith, the things we
should hope for which we will receive in the
future?
In the
following verses, the answer are given:
and you are sure of the goal of
your faith, that is, the salvation
of your souls. (1 Peter 1:9, NJB)
Blessed is the man who endures
trial, for when he has stood the
test he will receive the crown of
life which God has promised to those
who love him. (James 1:12, RSV)
The
ultimate
goal of
our faith should be the salvation of our
soul and the receipt of the
"Crown of
Life"
— the
eternal life in heaven, which God will
give as a reward for those who love Him.
