Matthew Stuckey here from Verity Baptist Church Manila and I want to provide you another video on the topic of unconditional election as part of this Calvinism series and I want to talk to you about 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verses 10 through 13 and this is what the Bible says in 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 10 and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness and them that perish because they received not the love of the truth that they might be saved this is just after it was talking about the working of Satan is talking about the Antichrist here in 2 Thessalonians 2 and then it talks about how there's people that receive not the love of the truth and it says that they might be saved if they had chosen to receive the love of the truth if they had believed on Jesus Christ they would have been saved but they receive not the love of the truth and a lot of people they hear the message of salvation and they end up rejecting it they don't believe it and so it says in verse number 11 and for this cause God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie and look there are certain people that you know what God does send them strong delusion this is where a lot of Christians get confused because they see how sometimes God will harden people's hearts or it says they cannot believe and when there's certain people God sends them strong delusions they should believe a lie because they rejected the truth for so long and during the end times you're certainly gonna see that where people you know they reject the truth and then they end up embracing the Antichrist and the devil scheme and things like that which is the context in 2 Thessalonians 2 so verse 12 it says that they all might be damned who believe not the truth but had pleasure and unrighteousness so the people that believe not the truth those that don't believe they go to hell he that believes not son shall not see life the wrath of God abideth them so they choose not to receive the love the truth they believe not the truth then it says in verse 13 which is a verse Calvinist love but we are bound to give thanks already God for you brethren beloved the Lord because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and believe the truth and so they love to focus on that where says he's chosen you to salvation but as we've said before he didn't just choose us randomly even in this verse he's chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth remember what I kept talking about how they receive not the love the truth they didn't receive they didn't believe the truth anyone God ends up sending them strong delusion so once again the way he chooses them to salvation is through belief of the truth that's clearly what you see in 2nd Thessalonians chapter 2 verses 10 through 13 and so it's not an unconditional a random election a random choosing based on nothing no it's based on the fact did you receive the love the truth did you believe when you heard the message of salvation and for us that are saved look you know what we chose to believe the truth once again it comes down to our free will it's not random it's very obvious the way he chose them to salvation yeah he chose them to salvation based on whether or not they would believe the truth or not thank you and God bless
