Jesus will declare the doctrine of sovereign grace in short, easy to understand, and comforting terms. This is not the doctrine of Calvin nor even of Paul for it did not have its origins from either of those men. This doctrine came straight from the Son of God Himself!
Let us compare what we believe and do to what the word of God says because it is our only rule of faith and practice.
Rather than focusing on a doctrine that we do not like, we need to embrace that doctrine in the full scheme of God's design. We need to rejoice in the glory of God just like God does!

Most of us do not want to admit how horrible we truly are. We want to be in control of our destiny. The problem is we would choose wrong every time if not for God's mercy acting on us.
John tells us to put all influences on trial. That means we compare everything that comes into our lives with the truth of God's holy word, the Bible. If it does not match up to the entire message of the Bible, we should kick it out of our lives – especially if it is claiming to a message from God!
The answer to any tension we have is not found in politics. The answer is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The gospel describes our value to God. Our belief in the gospel seals our minds and hearts with the knowledge that God loves us. With this belief as our foundation, we can face the hatred and wickedness around us with a different perspective. Rather than facing hate with hate, we can face all that we see with the love of Christ pouring out of us.
