Make your Reservation for God’s Remnant
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. Romans 11:5
The commencement of this week’s blog entry is coupled with an intentional inquiry.
Have you made your reservation for our gracious God’s Remnant? To assist your grasp of the gravity of the question and its far-reaching implications it’s imperative that we examine the term remnant which is found throughout the word of God.
A remnant is a remaining amount from a larger segment or piece. It could also be some sections of food, fabric from which a garment is fashioned, or even a set of people.
From scripture you will see that God our Father designated great significance to those of His people whom He had placed apart for HIS holy purposes. To start, The Prophet Isaiah shared about the Lord’s judgment upon the arrogant Assyrians.
Isaiah 10:12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.
Subsequently God then relates how His people will return to Him because of this incredible display of His strength and His downright destruction of most of Assyria.
Isaiah 10:20-21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God.
In the word of God you will discover numerous types of Remnants.
*A remnant of Jacob will return to God all Mighty. Isaiah 10:20, 21
*Noah and his family were the remnant saved in Genesis 6. And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Genesis 6:5
*Lot and his two daughters reflect a small remnant in Genesis 19. They escaped and were delivered from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.
* When Elijah embraced despair, he declared that he was the only one left in Israel who had not bowed down to idols, God assured him that He had reserved a remnant of 7,000 “whose knees have not touched the ground for Baal nor lips that kissed Baal with praise”.
*A blessed remnant is that of the true Church, the body of Christ. - it’s essential to note that the body of Christ, chosen out of the hundred of millions who have lived and died over the centuries in addition to the projected 8 billion people on earth today Jesus made it certain (crystal clear) that this remnant would be small when compared to the number of people on the earth. Unfortunately, because of the God of this world Satan who blinds minds and hearts “Countless number of individuals” will find the way to eternal destruction, but “few” will find the way to eternal life.
Matthew 7:13-14 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
A commitment to connect and cement yourself with the world will guarantee a destiny fixed in eternal pain and torture.
Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Revelation 20:14-15 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
YOUR PERSONAL REJECTION AND RESISTANCE TO RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS GOD, SAVIOR, AND LORD WILL RESERVE YOU A SPOT WITH SATAN – HIS ANGELS AND ALL OTHERS THAT WILL DINE AT THE TABLE OF THE DAMNED.
RESERVE YOUR PLACE WITH GOD’S REMNANT BY RECEIVING AND OBEYING THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST.
