NASB | Romans 8:29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 8:29 For those whom He foreknew [and loved and chose beforehand], He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son [and ultimately share in His complete sanctification], so that He would be the firstborn [the most beloved and honored] among many believers. |
Bible Question: Can you shed some light on "predestination"? It confuses me that God has predestined us to be as Christ but yet we have free will? |
Bible Answer: If you will look into Romans 9:11-16,18,21-23 I believe you will see that God chooses not us, and He also apprehends us which is not by our will. (Acts 9:3-16) As many might teach that we do have free will the scriptures say otherwise.And we must harmonize the scriptures by gathering enough scriptures which speak about the doctrine you have interest in. This is done by word studies. Blessings in His grace, ZtheBerean |
