Hello dear friends, welcome to our site in the name of Jesus Christ. When something unusual happens in our life, we blame fate and think that it happened for a predetermined reason. Is this really the case, the predetermined result? Today we will look at what the Bible says about predestination VS Against Predestination . If you like today’s post then definitely comment and share.
We see predestination events in several places in the Bible, so can we say that God predestined it so it happened? No, not at all because God has no bad plans. Jeremiah 29:11 says that God’s plans are always for good and for our bright future. The Bible also says that it is not God’s will for anyone to perish.
But we find many chapters in the Bible that are about predestination
I am not talking about all of you I know whom I have chosen But the scripture is fulfilled, ‘He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me’ (John 13:18).
We see here that Judah was told to betray Jesus instead of the 30 coins so the question could be that God had planned it so Judas betrayed it but not that. God knew that Judas would betray it so He wrote it down.
If we did everything according to God’s will then God would not have given us independent thinking power and His word to walk us in the right line. As the Bible says God’s Word is given to us to inspire us, and profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
The Bible also says – God has set before us life and death, blessing and cursing in this world for our choice which things we will choose (Deuteronomy 30:19).
Friends, we need to understand that God has two plans. When someone obeys his word, he begins to plan for his good. And when someone disobeys him and opposes him, then a plan of destruction is launched for him. Which plan we follow is entirely up to us, God has no hand here.
Let’s friends now let’s look at the scriptures of the Bible below where we will see About predestination.
