Ecclesiastes 9:11 English Standard Version (ESV) Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all.
Time and chance happens to us all.
That chance to place our faith in Christ happens to us all.
The fact that we can believe does not explain just how that works for everyone. Belief is not dependent on perfect understanding.
What we can believe is dependent on what Christ has done in us, not what He has done for us.
John 5:24 English Standard Version (ESV) Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
We must not separate the Word from the mission that God the Father set in motion from the beginning.
John 1:1-5 English Standard Version
The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Factum Peractum
Only the Word of God can accomplish what He sets out to do before He uttered a single Word.
That is a difficult concept for mankind who only believes what they see.
It becomes easier to see the hand of God working in our lives if we have heard the gospel first.
Time and chance happens for all of us.
