  15. 12. The election of the Church includes both equal privilege and equal opportunity for every believer to produce Divine Good.

  16. a. Under election, equal privilege is your Royal Priesthood.1 Peter 2:5, 9

  17. As a Royal Priest, every believer has a direct line to God, which means he represents himself before God, evaluates himself, and offers prayer for himself and others.

  18. Your priesthood demands that you live your own life as unto the Lord and take the responsibility for your own decisions. This is your equal privilege under election.

  19. b. Under election, equal opportunity is logistical grace blessings.2 Cor 9:8

  24. Col 3:12-13, “So, as those who have been chosen (elected) of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, …”

  25. e. Our works have no relation to our election.2 Tim 1:9-10

  26. 2 Tim 1:9-10, “Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity, …

  27. … but now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.”

  28. f. No man or angelic creature can stop our historical impact because of the fulfillment of our election. Rom 8:33

  29. Rom 8:33, “Who will bring a charge (any accusation) against God’s elect?”
