Larry Wessels of Christian Answers of Austin, Texas (search BibleQuery org, HistoryCart com & MuslimHope com) and Bob L. Ross of Pilgrim Publications of Pasadena, Texas discuss the Biblical doctrine of predestination. The famous 19th Century preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon said, "Men will have God everywhere except the throne." Divine Predestination means that God has a purpose that is determined long before it is brought to pass. This implies that God is infinitely capable of planning and then bringing about what He has planned. The scripture speaks of Him as doing this (Isaiah 14:24-27; 22:11; 37:26; 44:7-8; and 46:8-10). Biblical prophecy in its predictive mode is to be understood accordingly. The salvation of certain people to be saved by God long before the world was even created (Ephesians 1: 4-11) is thus already a certainty. This is why Jesus can state in Matthew 7:13-14 that only a few people will be saved from the wrath of God to come. Show 4 of a 6 part series. less
