The Elect Exiles

The Exile: Completely seperated from their home

• Stephens death dispersed churches all over Rome. But this world is not our home, we are the exiles of this world, our home is with Christ in heaven,

The Father's Foreknowledge

• God has chosen His people before the foundation of the world

Two ways Foreknowledge is interpreted

1. God being ouside of time chose people based on their reaction to the first time they heard the gospel....INCORECT INTERPRETATION

2. God has predestined his people before the foundation of the world not based off of anything we did but because of His good and gracious will.

Everything good we have is given by God not because we are good but because He is.

The Spirits Sanctification

1. Possesional Sanctification

-Ownership

2. Progressive Sanctification

-Daily transformation in where Christ daily chips off parts of us that are not like Christ.

The Sons Sprinkling

-Jesus died so we could be alive both physically and in Christ

-Gave the payment, shed the blood

The Growing Grace

-Grace and peace

-Everything is grace because we did not merit the gift and peace in Christ
