The "P" Word.

For some there is just no getting over the "P" word - predestination.

It comes up in Ephesians 1:5


"....he (our Heavenly Father) predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ ...."

A couple of things to say, hopefully to shed some light and not confusion.

Never in the Scriptures do we see people predestined to hell. God doesn't say that. We have made that up.

People are not predestined, acts are. It seems to me that predestination is the act of sending Jesus to be born as a baby, to grow, to live, to die and to rise again. This is the act that has led us to be adopted as sons and daughters of God.


Have a great day,
