Salvation Is Of God Even Though It Seems To Be Of Us

Salvation Is Of God

Does God Predestinate People Based On His Foreknowledge?

Does God Predestinate People Based On His Foreknowledge?

 

Many Christians are told that God has looked into the future to see who would accept Christ and therefore those people are the ones whom God has predestined to be saved. Where is this idea stated in the Bible? This idea is a false doctrine, perhaps based on a misunderstanding of scriptures like Romans 8:29 and Romans 11:2. After the fall of Adam, if God ever looked forward in time, the… Continue reading

Can Our WIll Overpower God’s Will?

 

When we first look at John 1:12 it sure looks like it is we who choose Christ:

 

John 1:12 – “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name”

 

But then, when we look at the next verse, we can no longer draw that conclusion:

Christ Died For The Ungodly

by Horatius Bonar

The divine testimony concerning man is, that he is a sinner. God bears witness against him, not for him; and testifies that "there is none righteous, no, not one"; that there is "none that doeth good"; none "that understandeth"; none that even seeks after God, and, still more, none that loves Him (Psa. 14:1-3; Rom. 3:10-12). God speaks of man kindly, but severely; as one yearning over a lost child, yet as one who will make no terms with sin, and will "by no means clear the guilty." <continued>
