1. Scattered strangers are those whom God foreknows. Before we know God, God knows us first and drives us to meet Him. None of us have ever met God by knowing God first. Don't forget what God has done for each of you until you come to church.
2. Scattered strangers are those elected according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit. I do not and cannot sanctify my own self; God is making me holy. Foremost, I can't care for my own faith. My faith grows only when God gives me faith and when God allows us stories of faith.
Do not forget: we are those whom God knew first, we are those whom He had chosen, and we are those who must obey God.
