AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 13:48 ¶ When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying [praising and giving thanks for] the word of the Lord; and all those who had been appointed (designated, ordained) to eternal life [by God] believed [in Jesus as the Christ and their Savior]. |
Bible Question: What does "appointed" mean in Acts 13:48? |
Bible Answer: As far as the etymology the word it translated from the translated Greek Tasso which means determined, appointed or ordained. The verse you are asking about supports the doctrine that before we chose God, he chose us. This is supported many times in the bible, I think best in Eph 1:4-5 and 2Th 2:13. |
