Don’t stand on the sidelines and say, “I’m not elected.” You’re in the race whether you like it or not. But I never heard of anybody being elected who didn’t run. You’ve got to run for the office. If you want to be saved, you’re the elect. If you don’t, you’re not. And that’s all I know about it. I can’t reconcile it. This happens to be God’s universe. And He just didn’t let me in on this, but I’ve come to the place in the sunset of life, I can say today: God is sovereign and He’s going to do this according to His will—and His will’s going to be right.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
