11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing (Luke 9:11).
If you try to match this verse with the verses from yesterday’s post, you may begin to get some clarity regarding the sovereignty of God as it applies to salvation. God is just and it is an absolute truth that whosoever will follow Him shall be saved. When we follow Christ He receives us. The action of God then is both calling and receiving. God calls and whosoever hears His voice and follows is reborn of the spirit and is then adopted as a child of God. This adoption is the ultimate form of healing, healing of the relationship between the Creator and the created.
