WHAT CONCERN IS THAT OF YOURS?

(THE GOSPEL vs ELECTION)
It is alarming how the teaching and mis-teaching of the many versions of Election/Predestination often get prioritized over the preaching of the Gospel entrusted to us. It is like we want to write our examinations with apÉ” or answers from illegally obtained marking schemes!
Apostle Paul's summary of the matter should be enough to tell you all that it's about for now:
"In regard to the Gospel they [Israel] are enemies for your [gentiles] sake, but in regards to election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers." (Romans 11:28)
My caption is the advice the Lord Jesus Christ gave to Peter when he tried to pry into the (PRE)DESTINY of the disciple whom the Lord loved, in John 21:22:
"If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours? Follow me!"
But some wouldn't listen to the Lord's admonishing and they ended up spreading some wild speculation around that John would never die. Is it any stranger that those who read Paul's and Peter's works on how God chooses people like He did Israel, looking to see what would happen to who tend to come up with a thousand weird doctrines?!
Our focus should be on that for which we are beloved, THE GOSPEL, which is the power of God unto salvation both for the Israelite (Jew) and the Gentile (the rest of us). And concerning that, the Lord said:
"Repentance for the forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all nations." (Luke 24:47)
We are called to preach the Gospel, first and foremost, and it is highest priority. Prying shouldn't occupy us at all. What concern is it of ours to know whether or not God has elected some people to whatever? Let's keep following in the Lord's footsteps and proclaim the good news in every nation to every creature.

WE CAME TO PREACH CHRIST

-
*WE CAME TO PREACH* We came to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. Some of our hearers asked us, "What shall we do to be saved from the wrath of God reserved for sinners?" We told them to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus, and God will forgive them, give them power to serve Him and to fulfil the desires of the flesh no more. Before they could make a move one young guy shouted loudly, "Hell no! You've got it all wrong. Don't start with REPENT. How can these sinners stop sinning without the power of God transforming them FIRST?" We said, "But that is what the Lord Jesus preached in Matthew 4:17, and asked us in Luke 24:47 to preach". By this time, the people who asked what to do had started dispersing ... This guy continued, "By repent, Jesus didn't mean stop sinning, or regret whatever wrong you have done, because He knows you have no capacity to do that. He just meant change your mind about Him. In Greek it's cal

My Galatians The letter is a kind of apogee of Paul’s gospel, when he could not refer to Peter and co. for authority to back his teaching that the gospel excels the law, and that it is self-defeating to hold the law as the standard when one comes to Christ. He traces the origin of his message to only his personal interaction with Christ, though at a point he returned to Jerusalem to present his message for verification (2:1-2).  He repudiated Peter’s ceremonial separation as contradictory to the gospel of Christ who embraces all nations without discrimination (2:18). Paul asserts that those to whom the law was given could not uphold it perfectly and are therefore under the “curse of the law” (3:10). Salvation has therefore always been by faith, and not by the law which came several years after God’s covenant promise to Abraham. The purpose of the law was therefore as caretaker until the empowerer came (3:18,21). If righteousness by the law could give life, there would

FOR BETTER FOR WORSE FOR GOOD

 FOR BETTER FOR WORSE FOR GOOD Your spouse isn't in your life simply to give you blissful days. He or she is in also to improve your character by stretching it to limits no one else can.  Just like change of lesson at school, couples regularly give each other bad days without even intending to. Those are all providential too. That is why every marriage looks nicer from the outside, at least soon as the honeymoon is over. Over time, after you've learnt to trust better and let some things go, you'll understand that you've been forged for greater things.  During the 'difficult lesson' periods, consider first which aspects of your own character is being dealt with, and try and make amends, otherwise, you'll have to do remedials several times over.  You focus also on God's overall goodness to you, and make room to thank Him. Don't let your grumbling steal His honor and praise. He is the one refining us, and though He passes us through fire, He is with us
