The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum God's favor

I'm not as gifted as some men on this forum. But i rermember John MacArthur aying that there was nothing man could do to bring Gods Favor. Have you ever had a "check" in your spirit but you don't know why? Thats what I get when I read your pastors statement. I don't believe that there was anything mary could do to bring Gods favor. She was chosen by Gods Grace Just as we were chosen to be saved. She was a chosen vessel for a specific task by no merits of her own but by the mercy and Grace of God.Was she obedient? Yes, very much so but I don't believe her obedience brought the favor of God. If this is so than I can "make" God bless, heal etc. ---------------Just the thoughts of an old man.
