How God Keeps Election Humble

Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

English “grace” emboldened in Romans 12:3 was translated from Greek noun 5485 charis which is the temporary bestowment of God’s spirit. Greek noun 5486 charisma is the permanent endowment of God’s spirit. God’s process of distribution was covered in analysis of Romans 11:3 in prior posts and explains why Greek noun 5485 charis has nothing to do with works while Greek noun 5486 charisma is always subsequent to works. The apostle Paul used the Greek noun 5485 charis to refer to what was “given unto me” because it is not possible for God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints” to know if they have completed transition from flesh thoughts and feelings to be entirely God’s spiritual thoughts and ways until they take their last flesh breath. Presumption of the permanent endowment of God’s spirit [Greek noun 5486 charisma] is more reflective of the arrogance of the world’s 4,351 religions and antithetical to God’s “seven thousand” “chosen” “elect” “election” “saints”.
