Section 11

willing is of no avail, and our running is in vain. God's mercy, however, works in a wonderful way. We are changeable, constantly fluctuating. It seems that, as far as we are concerned, our spiritual condition is like weather that is unsta ble. Hence, we need to see that the selection of grace does not depend on us, but depends on God's selection of us before the world began. What we are experiencing today is related to God's selection in eternity past. If we see this, we shall turn our eyes away from ourselves and from our circumstances and gaze steadfastly upon Him.

THE GOSPEL OF GRACE

The gospel in which we serve God is a gospel of grace, not a gospel of works. As Romans 11:6 says, "But if by grace, it is no longer out of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace." However, the fact that God's selection is wholly a matter of His grace does not mean that we are free to do what ever we want. If this is our attitude, then we either have not been selected by God or we are back sliders from God's selection. Oh, let us forget ourselves and our situation and keep our eyes upon the Lord. Again and again, let us say, "Lord, we praise You for Your selection of grace. O Lord,

we worship You for Your mercy." This is the gos pel revealed in the book of Romans.
