(Rom.8:28-31) "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He did predestinate, them He also called: and whom He called, them He also justified: and whom He justified, them He also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?"
(Eph.1:5-6) "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the Beloved:"
(Eph.1:11-14) "In Whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him Who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will: that we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ. In Whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in Whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of His glory."
God in His infinite wisdom, infinite love, grace, and mercy foreknew and predetermined that all mankind would need a Saviour in order to obtain eternal salvation through Christ Jesus, before "the beginning of the world."
Before somebody jumps on me in disagreement---let me say this...I know that NOT ALL WILL BE SAVED from eternal seperation from Him because this fact is in His Written Word of Truth.
