2 | Predestination question? | 1 Tim 2:4 | New Creature | 84484 | ||
It truly is God's desire that all men be saved. That statement expresses God's desire or will God has given men a will and a desire to either accept the free offer of salvation provided for by Christ Jesus and His sacrifical death, and atonement. I think Scripture states that people are predestined or are the elect according to the foreknowledge of God who knows what will take place before it actually happens. In other words, God knows beforehand who will and who will not receive the free offer of salvation. It is God's will that none perish, but man's will is not always in line with God's desired will. God's grace and Holy Spirit can be resisted. 1 Peter 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. God is Sovereign, but in His Sovereignty He chooses not to violate man's free will to accept or reject Him. Though He knows the choice before we make it. |
