Follow me on Facebook under AuntCynthia Whitaker ☺️👑😊 Join me today as we discuss: Do we, the lump of clay, have a right to ask the Potter why He takes the same lump of clay, and creates one jar for decoration and another to throw garbage into? For God did say, “I will show mercy to anyone I choose,
and I will show compassion to anyone I choose.” Both election and predestination refer to God’s choosing those who will be saved, but the latter term is used in a broader sense as well. This is a difficult biblical doctrine to understand, so serious digging into Scripture is required. When we look at the terms election and predestination, we are delving into the core of God’s Word by which God provides a glimpse of salvation from His perspective. The term “elect” refers to those whom God has chosen throughout time, this doctrine says that we choose God because He first chose us. Knowing that God chose us and then saved us by His grace means there is no room for boasting in Heaven. Where is man's boast about his free will to decide whether or not he will come to Christ? Instead, we should be filled with humility, gratitude, and love. Predestination is definitely one of “the secret things” of Deuteronomy 29:29 for in this life we see dimly and only in part, but one day we shall know fully (1 Corinthians 13:12).
