Title: Given a special invitation     
     
     
     
     
 
    
     
     
     
     
 

 
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. -
What world is John speaking of?     
The earth and all the people born into humanity.     

God is love and love is of God.     

The world was created by God and it is good.     We know that man chose rebellion against God and so humanity became evil.     But God loves the people of this world and so sent Christ Jesus into the world to redeem it and us.     

Love is what led Him to be born as a human, to suffer and die for us.     

The Gospel is heard and those who are hungry are lead by the Holy Spirit to believe and receive the Truth.     

The Truth sets us free from sin, from death and hell and brings us to Eternal Life.

And the Spirit and the bride say, Come.     And let him that hears say, Come.     And let him that is athirst come.     And whoever will, let him take the water of life freely. -
A final call to those who have not hardened their hearts to His love and Grace.     The Water Of Life is the Holy Spirit of God who is given freely to whosoever asks.

And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. -
God has issued a blanket invitation to the whole World to come to Christ Jesus for Salvation and so to be part of His Family and His Kingdom.

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, -
The fact that we exist is evidence of God's Grace.     ()

Every person has been given The Measure Of Faith () That Faith causes us to know in our Hearts that there is a Creator God.     

The Gospel of Grace Through Faith is the Eternal extension of that same Grace ()

Christ has commanded us to share the Gospel of the Kingdom with every person () That preaching is the third and final Testimony of His existence and His Grace.     

Those who Believe and Receive the Gospel are given the Gift of Eternal Life ()

Those whe Reject the Gospel are condemned to Eternal Death ()

So, we see that all are Called to become Sons Of God.   
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: -
Praise the Lord that His Love and Mercy is not extended to 'whosoever will' Believe and Receive Him.

But only those who Receive Christ are Chosen because they account Christ as Worthy and, in so doing, make themselves Worthy of Him.   Such people are Chosen of God.
