1 | Predestination | Rom 8:29 | Beth3078 | 30481 | ||
Can you please explain this verse in detail to me? My husband asked me about it; if He has predestined us already, then He already knows where we will spend eternity so my husband's question is why bother trying to be good or evil. I definitely do not agree with his opinion but I would like for someone to explain this verse to me. Thank you very much. | ||||||
2 | Predestination | Rom 8:29 | Reformer Joe | 30483 | ||
Beth: Welcome to the forum! There has already been a lot said regarding predestination on the forum (some think perhaps too much). I would recommend that you do Quick Search using the words "predestined" or "elect" to view some of these answers. To briefly address your post, while I hold that predestination is a biblical doctrine (see Ephesians 1 and Romans 9 for more on that), notice that the verse you cited says that the elect are not just predestined for Heaven, but predestined to be conformed to the image of Christ. Therefore, everything else in the Bible still holds true. Only those who are in Christ and being conformed by the Holy Spirit to the image of Christ are those who are predestined. In other words, the group of believers in the gospel is the same as the group of the elect. The fact that one is a follower of Christ is evidence that he has been chosen. Hope this helps! --Joe! |
