All enameled and interwoven with free grace! "Brothers, think of
what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by
human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God
chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose
the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and
the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may
boast before Him." 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 Without this effectual call—there is no going to heaven. This effectual call, is a GRACIOUS call. It is the fruit and product of free
grace! That God should call some—and not
others; that some should be taken—and others left; that one should be called who is of a more wicked disposition—while another of
a sweeter temper, is rejected; here is free grace! That the poor
should be rich in faith, heirs of a kingdom (James 2:5), and the nobles and
great ones of the world for the most part rejected; this is free and rich grace! "Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in
Your sight!" (Matthew 11:26) That under the same sermon one should be effectually wrought upon—while another
is no more moved than a dead man with
the sound of music; that one should hear What is the cause of this—but the free grace of God! It is all enameled and
interwoven with free grace! Those who are monuments of God's mercies,
will be trumpets of His praise. "So that no one may boast before Him!" 1 Corinthians 1:29
