Predestination is an open invite declared years ago for all mankind by Jesus Christ resurrection through the death on Cross.
"In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will
"– Eph1:7
By GRACE through FAITH & CHOICE :
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do"- eph2:8-10.
I hear people say god’s will would fulfill in my life no matter how they live, but they failed to understand that only if nourished and deeply rooted with word & anointing then it would come to pass in making a good choice with true obedience. Choice is given in our hands. What most understood in Christendom is that god would come and call you personally or talk to you , although it is true (but only on exceptions which no one know how and why) but the misunderstood fact is that ideally lord would come and call us personally or talk , which means the whole world would have been saved, then why all have not come to him, because he has given the choice to choose, hence the truth is, invitation has been declared to all in this world through the cross, whoever look into cross will be saved after repentance through faith in believing Jesus Christ died for me on the cross. Here the gospel fulfills and the predestination makes sense.
And the choice is been given into our hands, it’s up to us to take it. So when we realize that we are sinners and accept the invitation which is already kept open for years, then we will receive the salvation and would get a seal of ownership.
Adam has given a choice to Eat the fruit or not. Gen2:16-17.
Israelites have given a choice :
"Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death". Jer 21:8
Luke 15 talks about the prodigal son who left his father’s house and went on his own way, spent all and ended up in famine. Here the father ran into his son when he saw that his son is coming back with repentance, he accepted and forgave him and declared his son as it supposed to be (Lk15:19)
Here the son makes a choice that he should repent and go to his father, "But when he came to himself" in Tamil it emphasis more as
The younger son makes a choice here by understanding that he is a sinner. "I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you"
So when we make a good choice, we will be saved. So if there is no grace then choice stands no value, hence the truth stands "saved by grace not by works"
Not by Sight but By Faith:
In numbers21:8,9 we see, Lord is asking Moses to make a snake and put it on a pole ,anyone who is bitten can look at it and live… it is an illustration for us through the bronze snake, later people started worshiping it.the snake by burning incense "Nehushtan" as we read in IIkings-18:4…That’s why we are not allowed to keep anything as idol (ten commandments) or worshiping a being or creations whilst being saved looking upon the snake pole, similarly we come through faith by believing he died on the cross for my sins through a strong conviction in our hearts, "we walk by faith not by sight".
Jn1: 12-"Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God"
Ultimately we are saved by faith through grace… and grace is the open invite on the cross by bearing all our sins…. Believing it will be saved……………………
All are predestined !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grace, believe & repentance – PREDESTINED
Shielded in his Vision
