Some Predestined to be Saved...others not

[StephanStrategy]

Why can't we follow the law perfectly (at least some of us) since God preordains all of our thoughts and actions?

God preordains what comes to pass, not what you think or do. That is why He is God and we are not. He is capable of making everything happen according to His plan using the free choice and actions of broken, sinful people. God is not the author of sin, we are.

Better spend a little more time in Galations if you truely believe that salvation lies in following the law...

Actually, I thought we were saved by following the law but that it was someone else, i.e. Jesus Christ, who followed the law perfectly, that enabled us to be saved. It is not just that our sins rest on Him, thank God, but also that His righteousness is credited to us.
