Transforming Power Statements:
1) The evidence of “predestination” or divine election by God of each and all who believe is easy to see when we examine the Covenant People Israel, whom God caused to exist and set His love upon them to keep them in order to fulfill His own promises to bring them into a blessed land, of which they knew not, and also serves as an example to us of how our return of love to God must be nurtured and developed as we walk and mature in Christ.
2) The battle will be tough because of the resistance of the enemies of God against us, the flesh the world and the devil, will not easily give up, therefore we must put forth maximal effort to grow into the love of God and depart from evil.
3) With the grace and chastening of the LORD we can successfully achieve our goals and learn to Grow up in His love, which passes all understanding and have the victory to which we have been called, which has been paid for in full by the blood of Jesus Christ!
