Dear Sandra, I apologize that it has taken me so long to reply to your question! You asked, "Can you explain to me in simple terms what predestination of God means?" Well, ma'am, I'll do my best. As you know, God is the creator of all things (Colossians 1:16). As the creator, He has the right to do what ever He wants with His creation (Psalm 115:3). In other words, He is the King (Psalm 95:3; Daniel 4:37). Because of the sin in the Garden of Eden, every one of Adam's descendants died (Romans 5:12), for the wages of sin are death (Genesis 2:17; Romans 6:23). But God, in His love and mercy, for His own glory (Isaiah 48:11), before any of this happened, chose to save some people (Ephesians 1:4). But God doesn't leave anything to chance (Proverbs 16:33) or to people getting everything right (John 1:13). Instead, He carefully arranges everything -- even the tiniest of things to the greatest of things -- to happen in just the right way so that His chosen people will be saved, adopted into His family, and made like Christ (Romans 8:29-30; Ephesians 1:5, 11). God has done it all, from start to finish. This is predestination. Brother's Steve and WOS answered rightly, but I've tried to give the answer in as simple terms as possible. I hope we've helped you understand this important Bible doctrine. In Him, Doc |
