Bible Question (short): predestined or free will |
Question (full): I believe all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. Romans 8:28-30 states we were all chosen from the start of time. I have believed Salvation was offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. I have searched Scripture and found no answer. Are we to preach the gospel to all nations as our Lord Jesus Commanded or are only those God foreknew (Romans 8:29) in the Lambs Book of Life. Please help me with this question. I feel my firm foundation is being washed by acid rain. |
