“Elect” and “Brothers”

“Elect” Christians referred to as “the elect” How are we chosen? Elect means chosen How are we chosen? God’s choice (1st Peter 1:1-2; 2:9-10) Used also of Christ (1st Peter 2:4, 6) “In Christ” (Eph. 1:3-14) By baptism (Gal. 3:27; Rom. 6:3; 1st Cor. 12:13) Through the gospel (1st Thess. 2:13; 1:4-10)

“Elect” Responsibilities Benefits Characteristics of God’s chosen people (Col. 3:12-13) Confirm your election (2nd Peter 1:3-15) Benefits God will provide justice (Luke 18:1-8; 2nd Thess. 1:5-10) No one can take away our reward or God’s love (Rom. 8:28-39) God’s elect will have victory (Rev. 17:14)

“Brother & Sisters” Christians are called “brothers” and “sisters” Who is part of this family? Jesus’ spiritual family (Luke 8:19-21) God’s adopted children (1st John 3:1-2; Rom 8:14-17) Holy and faithful brothers (Heb. 3:1; Col. 1:2)

“Brother & Sisters” Benefits and responsibilities Scripture commands brotherly love (Rom. 12:10) Love and support (1st Peter 2:17; 1st Thess. 5:14; Gal. 6:10) When siblings fight, parents correct them (1st Cor. 1:10-11) Correction as a brother, not an enemy (2nd Thess. 3:14-15) Lots of forgiveness (Matt. 18:21-22; Luke 17:3-4) Joseph and his brothers (Gen. 37:23-28; 45:10-15) Sacrifice, like Jesus (1st John 3:16-17) Like Paul (2nd Cor. 12:15; Philip. 2:17)
