1 | Predestination | Eph 1:4 | Sctt | 41704 | ||
Hi new creature Eph.1:4-5 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:Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself,according to the good pleasure of his will. Jn.15:16 Ye have not chosen me,but I have chosen you,and ordained you,that ye should go and bring forth fruit,and that your fruit should remain... This is the mercy ,grace ,unmerited faveour of God that he would call us sinners unto repentance. He chose us for we would not willingly chose him,for out of the heart proceed evil thoughts,murders,adulteries,fornications,thefts,false witness,blasphemies.Mt.15:19.Now do you think that a person who had a heart like that would willingly chose God?No God chose man and placed him in the garden to train him in obediance to his word. |

We do not know who God has or has not chosen. It is not up to us to decide. All we can say is that before we were Christians we heard the Word "believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved." we believed. then we found out that we were forknown and predestined to be conformed to the image of Christ. Even John Calvin taught : As the ministers of the Gospel, and those who are called to the office of teaching, cannot distinguish between the children of God and swine, it is their duty to present the doctrine of salvation indiscriminately to all. Though many may appear to them, at first, to be hardened and unyielding, yet charity forbids that such persons should be immediately pronounced to be desperate. |

Yes, Jesus came to call sinners to REPENTANCE. But some will not. It is made clear in Scripture that there are people who reject Jesus. Jesus Himself said : John 3:19 The [basis of the] judgment (indictment, the test by which men are judged, the ground for the sentence) lies in this: the Light has come into the world, and people have loved the darkness rather than and more than the Light, for their works (deeds) were evil. [Isa. 5:20.] John 3:20 For every wrongdoer hates (loathes, detests) the Light, and will not come out into the Light but shrinks from it, lest his works (his deeds, his activities, his conduct) be exposed and reproved. He cried over Jerusalem because they rejected Him. He said : " Matt 11:21 Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes [and their hearts would have been changed]. Matt 11:22 I tell you [further], it shall be more endurable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. Matt 11:23 And you, Capernaum, are you to be lifted up to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades [the region of the dead]! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have continued until today. Matt 11:24 But I tell you, it shall be more endurable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment than for you. " That does not seem to indicate that they will all be saved. Rom 1:29 Until they were filled (permeated and saturated) with every kind of unrighteousness, iniquity, grasping and covetous greed, and malice. [They were] full of envy and jealousy, murder, strife, deceit and treachery, ill will and cruel ways. [They were] secret backbiters and gossipers, Rom 1:30 Slanderers, hateful to and hating God, full of insolence, arrogance, [and] boasting; inventors of new forms of evil, disobedient and undutiful to parents. Rom 1:31 [They were] without understanding, conscienceless and faithless, heartless and loveless [and] merciless. Rom 1:32 Though they are fully aware of God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve to die, they not only do them themselves but approve and applaud others who practice them. |
