Divine Sovereignty: Our Inheritance in Christ

"Brethren, think with me, in scripture, oftentimes the lot was used to show something that was already known. For instance, you say what do you mean, you remember the time when Jonathan dipped the end of his staff in the honey and ate it, but he did so ignorantly not knowing that his father decreed that if anybody ate before the enemy was subdued or before the end of the day that they would die. You remember that, and here's Saul he comes to recognize somebody sinned, and you know what they did they cast lots first they cast lots for Jonathan and his father over against all the people and when the lot was cast it came out pointing to Jonathan and his and his father." [00:25:54]

"Brethren, you have to recognize this, the picture is all mankind standing before God, and we are subject to the lot of God. My lot, your lot, every decision of that lot is with the Lord. God has chosen the way the lot is going to fall out to every single one of us. It's not by chance, you see what the text says brethren look at the text, having been predestined to this inheritance how, by chance, by you and I intervening by you and I having some faith that God looked down through the corridors of time and saw is it by something that we did is it by interaction from us is it by our council did we give counsel to God here brethren." [00:29:54]

"Brethren, the thing that we have to grasp is this, when Paul says that our inheritance is gotten by lot, you know what he's doing, he is drawing on Old Testament imagery. In the, who are the old covenant people the physical nation of Israel how did they get their inheritance, by lot, you see brethren, you see the imagery you see the foreshadowing brethren, all through our bibles we get the idea when we come to the new testament, we get this idea that what is given to us in the old is given for our instruction who have come along here at the end of the ages that that's all for us, and what does it do it it teaches us truths, it sets forth realities, many of which are just in seed form they're foreshadowings they're simply types." [00:33:31]

"Brethren, the thing is in the end, the sovereignty of God should humble us not discourage us and I get that from the text because I recognize this worship is the outflow of finding God worthy is it not worth ship or worth skype is where this word worship comes from we are accrediting worth to God when Paul looks at how God is in control of all this he goes to praising he goes to magnifying the glory of God that is an expression of humility because what humility does pride is seeing oneself as big pride is exalting self humility is seeing self small seeing God big that's where praise comes from that's where worship comes from." [00:43:59]

"Brethren, the thing that we need to recognize is God is very great we are very small but he is great to save and all the day long scripture says he extends his hand to this rebellious and contrary people and we read in our bibles the kindness of God being showered upon mankind is meant to lead them to repentance God does not set himself forth in scripture as being big to destroy he is that but it's like he delights in showing himself to be big to be magnificent to save and brethren if we understand these things right that it's all of God we should break forth into praise." [00:52:13]
