\"\"Romans (Program #24) – God’s Selection, Our Destiny (2)<\/p>\n

As Christians, our destiny is to receive God, contain God, be filled with God and express God.\u00a0 We can enjoy our destiny by opening our mouth wide and calling on the name of the Lord saying, \u201cLord Jesus, I love You!\u00a0 Fill me with Yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, we\u2019re in chapter 10. Paul, in this portion gets quite deep in his writing in places.\u00a0 We want to develop the thought in these portions today, particularly related to the section of chapter 10 and around chapter 10. The overall topic of these three chapters is \u201cGod\u2019s selection and our destiny\u201d. It is a tremendous topic showing us that God\u2019s selection is our destiny. Here we can really see our destiny having been selected by God.\u00a0 We\u2019re selected by God as vessels of God to receive Him, contain Him, and be filled with Him to express Him to fulfill His heart\u2019s desire.\u00a0 God\u2019s selection and our destiny is altogether focused on Christ. First of all, we see Christ as the very end of the law. Secondly, we see Christ as the incarnated and resurrected One.\u00a0 Thirdly, we see the Christ who is so wonderfully near and dear. Fourthly, we see Christ needs to be believed in and called upon so that we can be filled up with Him to fulfill God\u2019s heart\u2019s desire.\u00a0 Most Christians sorry to say, including myself for many years, viewed ourselves as believers merely as instruments.\u00a0 But God\u2019s selection, God\u2019s choosing of us according to His desire was as vessels to receive Him, to contain Him, to be filled with Him so that we can express Him.\u00a0 This is a delightful portion in the Word bringing us to God\u2019s selection, our destiny and even bringing us to the way that we can really enjoy our destiny and enter into the main point in this section of the Word.<\/p>\n

What really zero\u2019s in on God\u2019s heart\u2019s desire, His focus is that we be vessels to contain Him. The difference is profound; it\u2019s beyond significant in terms of how we appropriate these chapters in Romans. If all we are\u00a0 just instruments to work for God, God\u2019s purpose is not fulfilled. God needs to be expressed, so He needs to come into us. This is His heart\u2019s desire. So what a wonderful portion in the Word to see that we\u2019re selected by God as vessels to receive Him, contain Him and be filled with Him to express Him.<\/p>\n
