Predestination

[yashualover]

Eph 1:1 From Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by God's will, to his holy and faithful people in Ephesus who are in union with Christ Jesus.
Eph 1:2 May grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ be yours!
Eph 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! He has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm,
Eph 1:4 just as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in his presence. In love
Eph 1:5 he predestined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of his will,
Eph 1:6 so that we would praise his glorious grace that he gave us in the Beloved One.

1 Timothy 2:3-4 3 This is good, and it is acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Eph 1:5 ... through Jesus Christ not, you might note, though some warm and fuzzy feelings that we were preordained.

Unless we come to God in humility we may think more highly of ourselves than we ought.
