Predestination
“…He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world,…..having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself…” (Eph. 1:4-5)
Predestination has only one Destination.
Some do not understand the concept of Biblical predestination. They think that God chooses a person to be saved in heaven or lost in hell before they are born, and there is nothing that they can do about it. However, it is not individuals, but a particular group or class of people that God chose before the foundation of the world.
A school teacher told his students that some would pass their course and some would fail. He then described what they would need to do to pass. Sure enough, at the end of the school year some passed and some failed. He predestinated the outcome but he did not predestine the students. It was up to them whether they passed or failed. Likewise, God predetermined before the creation that He would choose those “in Christ.” Friends, the CHOICE is yours!
