Arming Our Selfs With The Mind Of Christ

  

1Pe 4:1 KJV - Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
2Ti 2:10 ASV - Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake, that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.  Elect Greek: eklektos
Elect, Elected, Election:
The source of their "election" is God's grace, not human will, Eph 1:4, 5; Rom 9:11; 11:5. They are given by God the Father to Christ as the fruit of His death, all being foreknown and foreseen by God, Jhn 17:6; Rom 8:29. While Christ's death was sufficient for all men, and is effective in the case of the "elect," yet men are treated as responsible, being capable of the will and power to choose. For the rendering "being chosen as firstfruits,

Mat 22:14 ASV - For many are called, but few chosen.  Called    Greek: kletos   called, invited (to a banquet)  invited (by God in the proclamation of the Gospel) to obtain eternal salvation in the kingdom through Christ .   an invitation to a wedding feast , the marriage of the Lamb
Rev 19:7 ASV - Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Rom 11:29 ASV - For the gifts and the calling of God are not repented of.  God does not take back his gifts  and he is merciful in his calling . God is patient and kind he is a God of love.
He is tender to the needs of his children .  That through his grace we have the right to obtain eternal salvation in the kingdom through Christ . Salvation is not a one time deal and you are set
for the rest of your life.  Salvation is an on going walk a journey of reclaiming your soul .  There are requirements of God through his word for us to walk in.   To be saved is a life time of obedience to a sovereign God , creator of heaven and earth and all things in the earth .  The bible says you are created in the image of God so therefore God is calling mankind to come and partake of his mercy and his grace .  Man has the ability to choose to follow his creator or choose to follow the world .  And as I said there are requirements of every man on this earth to follow .
If God created you than surely he has a plan for you , contrary to carnal thinking yes God gave you his breath of life and you became a living soul .  God said in regards to his son he said go through out the land the highways the by ways and invite as many as you see to the marriage feast of the Lamb , his son is to be married .  And he sent his servants to do this to proclaim the salvation of mankind through his gracious sacrifice of the Lamb . The Lamb being sacrificed for the wedding guest , the many that are called .  I feel that to you that are reading this you are either called and going to the wedding or God is calling you friend to come and dine at the wedding feast of his son .

The word Nations are the people of the earth all people, for God so loved the World the Jew and the Gentile . We are living in very uncertain times today and as Matt 24 reads there shall be Wars and rumors of wars .      Mat 24:6 ASV - And ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that ye be not troubled: for these things must needs come to pass; but the end is not yet.   It is more than evident we are living in those times Jesus spoke of .    But the end is not yet ! very troubling times are ahead and every nation of people will see this come to pass .  This is a calling not only to repent of your sins but to die in the sins of your flesh to be baptized in water with a clear conscience unto God and man you have repented and will walk in your repentance ,  To repent is to have a change of mind be sorry for your sins .  The bible says  2 Cor 7-10 AMP   For [godly] sorrow that is in accord with the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation; but worldly sorrow [the hopeless sorrow of those who do not believe] produces death. 11 For [you can look back and] see what an earnestness and authentic concern this godly sorrow has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves [against charges that you tolerate sin], what indignation [at sin], what fear [of offending God], what longing [for righteousness and justice], what passion [to do what is right]   Our God is not only a God of Love he manifested it in the giving of his son for the sins of the world ,   but he is also a God of wrath to those that miss the mark and missing the mark is sinning against his love for us.  For God so loved the world ( you and I )
That who ever believes upon him should not Perish but have everlasting life , here is the requirements I spoke of earlier of ,   to believe with all your hearts and surrender your life unto a righteous God and receive forgiveness of your sins through the blood of his son and the promise life ever lasting.
