What’s Your Question, for Feb. 21

What did God predestinate?

There is no doubt that God did pre-determine some things (Eph. 1:3-11), but the Bible does not teach that certain ones are predestined to be saved or lost. God is not a respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). He told the apostles to preach the gospel to every creature (Mk. 16:15,16), and whoever obeys that gospel be saved (Rom. 10:12-16). Christ died for everyone (Heb. 2:9), and man can choose to obey or disobey His message (Rom. 6:16).

One explained "the elect" this way – God votes for you, Satan votes against you, and your vote determines the way the election goes! God predetermined that the saved would be in Christ and He revealed the conditions man must meet to be added to the saved (Rom. 6:3,4). How do you vote?
