Voting in New Zealand (08. November 2008)

Voting is on already even before the 8th of November. You can see the signs in front of the library here in Kaitaia. The signs say ‘VOTING’.

I have ‘voted’* for the Lord Jesus Christ many many years ago.

THAT’S WHAT I THOUGHT, UNTIL I READ IN THE BIBLE:

Ephesians 1:4 “For he chose us in him before the creation of the world…”

I did not ‘vote’ for the Lord, but he chose me before the creation of the world.

But not only the apostle Paul is teaching about election, but the apostle Peter says in:

First Peter 1:1 ” ……, To God’s elect,….., who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father,….”
