I would like to share my view on predestination.<br /><br />I would like to have Romans 8:29-30 as reference for this. <br /><br />29 For those whom he foreknew he also predestined lto be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those whom he predestined he also called, and those whom he called he also justified, and those whom he justified he also glorified.<br /><br />Predestination is about God knowing whom who will accept Jesus Christ as Savior or not. From the very beginning, God knew about this, so from the very beginning, He predestined already who will go to heaven and who will go to heave. God gave us the free will to choose, that is why Eve was able to let herself be carried away by the temptation of Satan.<br /><br />So if somebody goes to hell, it is that somebody's choice. It's not because God was so unjust he just wanted to exclude some people in his grace and mercy.<br /><br />So if somebody gets saved, it is just a clear picture of CONFIRMATION that God has predestined you to be saved, for from the very beginning, God knew that you would CHOOSE TO FOLLOW Jesus.<br /><br />I hope this has been of help. I also hope that these verses may be helpful to you too. Will be praying for you.<br /><br />Ezekiel 18:23 <br />Have I any pleasure in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord God, and not rather that he should turn from his way and live?<br /><br />1 Timothy 2:4<br />This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all people to be saved and ato come to the knowledge of the truth. <br /><br />God does not want anybody to send into hell. Rather, he wants everyone to be saved, for he does not delight to the death of the wicked.<br /><br />That's how wonderful, amazing, and gracious the God that we have.Krissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18166630752947129900noreply@blogger.com
