Far beyond our Understanding

Someone may say, why did God choose (elected) you in Christ and not so and so to lavish His saving grace upon. The only answer you can give is what the Bible says in Ephesians, According to the good pleasure of His will. I leave the rest to God.

The Bible says in Romans 11:34-35, O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! For who hath known the mind of the Lord? Or who hath been his counseller?

There are things which are far beyond our understanding, because He is an infinite God, and you and I are finite. Man could not handle all what God knows. The reason God has given us the perfect measure contained in the Bible.

Those Who Walk Away

In 1John 2:19, The Bible talks about people who professed to be believers in the Lord Jesus, but they eventually gave up, and walked away from the Lord Jesus, and went back into the world.

John wrote, They went out from us, but they were not of us, for if they had been of us, they would no doubt continued with us, but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

When a person walks away from Jesus, and turn their back on Him, and go back into the world, and no longer believe, God is making known they were never one of His people, they never truly believed, they never had salvation.

The most famous one would be Judus Iscariot. He was shown to be not a believer. He never lost salvation because he never had salvation. Judas was never a true believer, he was never saved. He may have appeared to be a disciple before others, but Jesus knew from the beginning he was not.
