King James Version
10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired
and searched diligently,
who prophesied of the grace
that should come unto you:
GOD doesn't play favorites.
All are according to His GRACE and MERCY.
Scripture testifies of it.
Here's proof.
GOD did not spare His SON, JESUS.
Romans 8:32
King James Version
32 He that spared not his own Son,
but delivered him up for us all,
how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
GOD did not spare His chosen nation, ISRAEL.
Romans 11:21
King James Version
21 For if God spared not the natural branches,
take heed lest he also spare not thee.
GOD did not spare His CREATION, save Noah and family.
Genesis 7:21-24
King James Version
21 And all flesh died that moved upon the earth,
both of fowl,
and of cattle,
and of beast,
and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth,
and every man:
22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life,
of all that was in the dry land,
died.
23 And every living substance was destroyed
which was upon the face of the ground,
both man,
and cattle,
and the creeping things,
and the fowl of the heaven;
and they were destroyed from the earth:
and Noah only remained alive,
and they that were with him in the ark.
24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth
an hundred and fifty days.
If GOD doesn't spare those He love, how can any be spared?
Only by believing JESUS, can we be saved.
Acts 4:12
King James Version
12 Neither is there salvation in any other:
for there is none other name under heaven given among men,
whereby we must be saved.
Only by believing in JESUS, can we have eternal life.
John 3:16
King James Version
16 For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
Only THROUGH His SON, JESUS, can we do anything.
John 15:5
King James Version
5 I am the vine,
ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me,
and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit:
for without me ye can do nothing.
That's why GOD commands we listen to JESUS.
Matthew 17:5
King James Version
5 While he yet spake,
behold,
a bright cloud overshadowed them:
and behold a voice out of the cloud,
which said,
This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased;
hear ye him.
As we should, for JESUS was given all of GOD's POWER.
Matthew 28:18
King James Version
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying,
All power is given unto me
in heaven and in earth.
