Predestination Yesterday we saw how Gods will involves our - TopicsExpress

Predestination Yesterday we saw how Gods will involves our salvation. He doesnt delight in judging people for their sin, but desires that they repent and receive His gift of eternal life. But now we come to another truth concerning Gods will...predestination. What does predestination mean? Predestination refers to the fact that God, in eternity past, long before we were ever conceived or born, chose those who would repent and believe in Him. And we read here that when it comes to His work of predestination that it was according to the good pleasure of His will. God never begrudgingly predestined anyone. He specifically wanted each and every person who belongs to Him. If He chose us, it was because it was His will to do so. So in addition to our salvation, Gods predestination is also included in His will for our lives. This means we never need to doubt or worry that Hes going to change His mind about our being His. He has no regrets about you being His. If were His, its because He wants it that way. Hang on! I thought salvation was something we chose for ourselves. Now youre saying salvation is something God chose for us. Which one is it? The answer? Both. Gods Word clearly and consistently tells us that we are free to choose and that we have been chosen. But that doesnt make sense to me! Good. Because Isaiah 55:8 says that Gods ways are above mans ways. Somethings wrong if were able to fully fathom every aspect of His ways, and this is a prime example of that. Besides, we miss the point God is making when we simply focus on what we dont understand. Heres the point thats clear: If weve chosen to follow God, then its His will that we have. Period. Yesterday we saw how Gods will involves our salvation. He doesnt delight in judging people for their sin, but desires that they repent and receive His gift of eternal life. But now we come to another truth concerning Gods will...predestination. Think about it... What does this passage reveal to me about God? What does this passage reveal to me about myself? Based on this, what changes do I need to make? What is my prayer for today?
