Greetings brethren, it's another wonderful day to listen to God's word from his humble servant, Bro Eli Soriano.
God keep blessing his words.
In this part of his teaching, Bro Eli made us to understand that going to heaven is not destiny but a result of obedience, perseverance, and faith in God.
God may call or ordained certain people for his work, but this does not mean they're automatically destined for heaven. Eternal life is a promise given only to those who remain faithful to God's word till the end.
Bro Eli used Apostle Paul as an example in his teaching. Apostle Paul even before his birth was destined by God to be a great prophet, a great servant of God and the light of the gentiles, but that was not destiny in the aspect of being guaranted heaven. Paul still had to accept God's call, repent from prosecuting God's children and dedicate himself fully to the teachings of the gospel.
Although, Apostle Paul was chosen by God even before his birth, his salvation was not determined by destiny. Instead, Paul's obedience and faith bring salvation to him. This is a reminder that there is a possibility, even if we are chosen by God for us to be reprobate, or disqualified or to be rejected by God if we don't live in accordance with his will.
Thanks for reading 🙏
