Bible Note: The calling of God is determined by His own wise counsel: "Also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will." Ephesians 1:11. Who is predestined? Believers (i.e. those who will obtain an inheritance) Who predestines/chooses? God, according to HIS purpose! Did God involve our "input"? No, because he works ALL things after the counsel of HIS WILL. Our input (that is, those who are not yet regenerated) is to rebel continually and completely against God, the sworn enemy of all the unsaved. (Romans 3:10-18) We are the creation, who has no control over the Creator. Get used to it. It is who we are. --Joe! |
