Hi Kathryn, Predestination is about God being in control of all that happens through history, including his choice of saving some people for himself, while allowing others to go their own way along the path of sin. It is a concept tightly linked to God’s ‘sovereignty’, which is a word used to describe the complete and intimate control God ...

Predestination means we can have greater assurance” because if God is for us and has already decided we will be His, then nothing any person can do can take that away. Predestination is not something that should make us more worried about where we stand with God. It should make us realise that since God is responsible for making people ...
Without predestination I cannot be certain of my salvation. But because of predestination I can, like Paul, say with certainty that nothing can come between me and God because God is working to make sure that is what happens. Accountabilty (and its partner Judgement), however, are in the bible to warn us to take things seriously. Passages such as Heb 5:11-6:12 warn of the dire consequnces of ...
You are certainly right to say that some are elected for salvation. Everyone destined for salvation was chosen before the foundation of the world (Ephesian 1:4), which is why Revelation 17:8 teaches that the Book of Life was written before the foundation of the world. Revelation 3:5 does not imply that a name can be blotted out of the book; God ...

This is not something that we like to hear because we have an inate sense of our great worth. But God created us and can do as he wants - after al he is God!!
Jesus does not say that he IS the Father, or that he and the Father are the SAME, but that they are ONE. So they are distinct, yet unified. * Because Jesus and the Father are both one and distinct, we can say that God ‘sent his son into the world’ - (John 3:16), and also that Jesus came into the world (1 Tim 1:15) - we are speaking about ...
These are the “good works that God has prepared for us” that Paul talks about in Ephesians 2:10. God saves us not only to be with him in heaven but also to be part of his plans and purposes in saving the world now. We are his agents on earth, working side by side with God himself. Paul even calls himself “God’s fellow worker” in 1 ...
