PREDESTINATION


Ephesians 1:4: "For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight."
This verse, as many others of this nature, has and always will be controversial and be the basis for many conversations.

Some unsaved people say, "Oh well, I guess I'm not chosen so it doesn't matter what I do." That is precisely the thought process Satan fosters; in this way he can keep the lost, lost. This fatalistic thinking is wrong; let me explain why. If a person is not saved (has not accepted Jesus as Savior) and chooses to refuse to accept Jesus as Savior, then it is their choice. Please understand all people are born under the Curse and each person's destiny is hell, unless that person decides to accept Jesus as Savior who died on the cross for anyone willing to believe and accept Him as Savior.

There is no mystery, shouldn't be any controversy, quite the contrary it is simple. It's up to each one to accept Jesus or remain in the state in which they were born. Remember what Jesus told Nicodemus in the garden? "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water (natural birth) and the Spirit (accepting God's gift, His Son Jesus Christ)." See John 3:5.

Have you chosen your destiny or have you simply decided not to do anything? Doing nothing is doing something; it adds a bit of joy to Satan's day, every day.
