Our world is flooded with mixed messages. We need discernment. Let's not be swayed by deceit, but stay true to what Christ has set for us. Let's choose faith over folly Colossians 2:8 KJB
The most important passages in the bible doesn't have water in them
1. Romans 6: the believer's identification with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Happened by faith
2. Galatians 3:26-27: faith in Christ makes believers children of God.
3 gospels
1. Gospel of the kingdom, to take Israel into the millennial. Mat 3:1-3 KJV
2. Gospel of the grace of God, saves soul for heaven. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4
3. Everlasting gospel, another chance to be in the millennium. Rev 14:6
Predestination of the Bible is not God selecting who he wants to save. It's rather God's plan for those that believe the gospel and are not saved. Man still have to choose life or death.
Predestination is God showing us is eternal plan from the beginning. Having PREDESTINATED us unto the adoption of CHILDREN by JESUS CHRIST to himself, according to the good pleasure of HIS WILL,
(Eph 1:5)
I cannot agree less. God appoints us all to be saved in Christ. He didn't pick a sect to be saved and another for damnation. He wants all men to be saved through faith in Christ Jesus' death, burial and resurrection. The view of some concerning predestination is skewed
The Bible used predestination for:
1. A saved Christian getting an inheritance (Eph. 1:11).
2. A saved Christian being adopted as a child of God (Eph. 1:5).
3. A saved Christian in glory just like Jesus Christ (Rom. 8:29–30).
Predestination is conditioned on God's foreknowledge of you (Rom. 8:29).
God must first know you before you can be predestinated (1 Peter 1:2).
This means you have to believe God for him to know you.
Preaching the Gospel is key. We plant the seeds, but it's God who brings growth. And remember, if not predestined few, then He predestined all of creation for redemption. Trust in His omniscience #Gospel#Predestination#Redemption
This emphasizes belief in predestination, the importance of faith in Jesus' sacrifice for salvation and the victory over sin & death, and the belief that not believing in Jesus results in spiritual blindness. (John 17:3)
