By grace or by works

Moses summoned all the Israelites and said to them: Your eyes have seen all that the LORD did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials and to all his land. With your own eyes you saw those great trials, those miraculous signs and great wonders. But to this day the LORD has not given you a mind that understands or eyes that see or ears that hear. (Deut 29:2-4)

Has God cast away His people? Certainly not! Some are also faithful today being chosen by grace. And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. As it is written: "God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes so that they could not see and ears so that they could not hear, to this very day." (Rom 11:1-8) Are you by the Grace of Christ or by the works of the law? Hear Him!
