OTHER PAPERS THAT DISCUSS THESE TOPICS SEE:

I) ALL MEN ARE SINNERS:

Psalms 14:2-3 Also Psalms 53:1-3 & Romans 3:10-12; Every person is a sinner who seeks his own way.

Ecclesiastes 7:20 Just men, Christians, also sin.

Romans 3:9 Jew's and Gentile's, all people, are sinners

Romans 1:19-20 God hath shown himself clearly to all people and they failed without excuse.

1 John 1:8-10 Christian's sin too

James 2:10 Smallest sin = total sinner

Mankind goes its own way and sins. He can control the degree and number of sins but can not stop himself. He is in bondage to Satan and sin. Only God can change that person.

II) RESULTS OF BEING A SINNER:

Romans 1:18

Ezekiel 18:4

Romans 5:12

Revelation 20:15 The results of being a sinner are judgment, death, separation from God, and hell forever.

III) WHAT ABOUT ANY WHO HAVE NOT HEARD?:

Romans 1:19-20

Romans 2:12-15 The gentile also sinned knowingly and is condemned by God to hell.

IV) DOES GOD FORESEE MAN'S GOODNESS AND REWARD HIM WITH ETERNAL LIFE?:

These scriptures show man is only evil and can not do good.

Man is born a sinner and then will sin as his natural self and his evil will does. How can evil do not good? How can an omniscient God look down the ages to see some one who will believe except He intervene with changing the person by His grace?

Psalms 14:1-3

Psalms 53:1-3

Isaiah 53:6

Isaiah 64:6-8

Romans 3:10-18

The men who can not follow God are doing their natural evil, self-centered, and fleshly acts which is because of their being born with sin and are sinners. They can not do good because the scriptures show they are evil.

John 8:44-47

The order to follow God is you can hear God's words and believe on Jesus. This applies to making a choice for good for God or having faith which is from God to man just as grace is from God to man.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4

Scriptures show man's total depravity. Grace is one way from God towards man. We can only receive the gift when God send it.

Ephesians 2:8-9

V) ARE SOME CALLED (ORDAINED) TO BE LOST?:

Romans 9:10-21

Esau was hated by God before birth or doing good or bad with his life. Pharaoh was raised up that God might show his power in him. Some vessel's made for honor and other vessel's made for dishonor.

Jude 4

VI) ARE SOME CALLED (ORDAINED) TO BE SAVED?:

Acts 13:48

John 6:44

Romans 8:29-31

Ephesians 1:4-5 God is sovereign to save, whomsoever he wants to save and whomsoever he want to be lost is lost. Romans 9.

VII) WHAT IF A PERSON DOES NOT CALL UPON THE LORD JESUS?:

John 3:18

Psalms 5:4-5

Acts 4:12 The believer shall call upon the Lord and be saved. The unbeliever will not call upon the Lord and will be lost.

VIII) WHO WILL CALL UPON THE LORD JESUS?:

Romans 12:3

Ephesians 1:4

Ephesians 2:4-9

Acts 13:48

IX) HOW IS ONE SAVED?:

John 3:16

Romans 3:23-25

Romans 3:27-28

Romans 10:9-10

Romans 10:13

Man deserves death and punishment, separation from God, for sin. God's love and grace has saved some and all other's will be lost.

Those that are the saved, will repent (change) of their sins and will call upon the Lord. They will pray to Jesus something like this: Father, I know I am a sinner. I asked for your forgiveness and help me to repent. Come in to my life and be my Lord. Help me to speak to others about your paying for my sins on the cross. In Jesus name I ask this. Amen.

If you prayed that pray and trusting in the promises of God's word, the Bible, you are one of the called, elected, and chosen.
