The Called Out Ones
The word church means “a called-out people.”
Whenever you read about the church you are reading about people God has called out of the world.
Seven times in John 17, our Lord referred to believers as those whom the Father gave to Him out of the world.
(John 17:2, 6, 9, 11–12, 24).
Salvation Begins With God
The entire plan of salvation was born in the heart of God long before man was created or the universe formed.
Salvation Exists Because of God’s Love
God’s love made Calvary possible (Rom.
5:8), and there Jesus Christ died for our sins.
But it is not God’s love that saves the sinner; it is God’s grace.
God in His grace gives us what we do not deserve, and God in His mercy does not give us what we do deserve.
Salvation Requires Faith
Some people who heard the message believed and turned from their vain idols to the true and living God
The Spirit of God used the Word of God to generate faith.
Salvation Involves the Trinity
As you read this letter, you discover the doctrine of the Trinity.
Christians believe in one God existing in three Persons:
God the Father, and God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.
Keep in mind that all three Persons are involved in our salvation.
1) As far as God the Father is concerned, I was saved when He chose me in Christ before the world began.
2) As far as God the Son is concerned, I was saved when He died for me on the cross.
3) As far as God the Holy Spirit is concerned, I was saved one Saturday night, when I heard the Word and trusted Jesus Christ.
At that moment, the entire plan fell together and I became a child of God.
When did I become Elect?
Only when all 3 fell into place and I chose to come to God.
Salvation Changes Our Life
How did Paul know that these Thessalonians were elected of God?
He saw a change in their lives.
The person who claims to be one of God’s elect, but whose life has not changed, is only fooling himself.
Those whom God chooses, He changes.
This does not mean they are perfect, but they are possessors of a new life that cannot be hidden.
Faith, hope, and love are the three cardinal virtues of the Christian life, and the three greatest evidences of salvation.
1) Faith must always lead to works
James
If the Thessalonians had continued to worship their dead idols while professing faith in the living God, it would have proved that they were not among God’s elect.
2) Love is also an evidence of salvation:
By This shall...
3) The third evidence of salvation is hope, waiting for Jesus Christ to return
The return of Jesus Christ is the dominant theme of both of these Thessalonian letters.
Unsaved people are not eagerly awaiting the Lord’s return.
In fact, when our Lord catches His church up into the air, unsaved people will be totally surprised.
Faith, hope, and love are evidences of election.
These spiritual qualities are bound together and can come only from God.
Are you Saved?
A local church must be composed of elect people, those who have been saved by the grace of God.
One problem today is the presence, in the church family, of unbelievers whose names may be on the church roll, but not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
Every church member should examine his heart to determine whether he has truly been born again and belongs to God’s elect.
