1 | Free will and predestination co-exist? | Rom 8:29 | mark d seyler | 178471 | ||
Hi ebrain, I'd just like to point out that this verse doesn't actually say that we are predestined to be saved, but rather that we are predestined to be conformed to the image of Jesus. Is there a Scripture that says we are predestined to salvation? Love in Christ, Mark |

Hi Mark. Regarding the last line of your post, where you say, "Is there a Scripture that says we are predestined to salvation?" Love in Christ, Mark Well what about these two Ephesians Ch 1 vs 5 and 11. "In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will" "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will" |

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Now please tell me how this verse, and the two in my previous post cannot refer to those predestined for salvation ?. Regards. Edwin. (ebrain |

Hi Edwin, In a nutshell, everything God gives to us, He first gave to Christ, including election (Isaiah 42, for instance). As we become "in Christ", we also become recipients of all that Christ received from the Father, short of His deity. Is there anything we receive from the Father that we do not receive as a benefit of being "in Christ"? Love in Christ, Mark |
