Description

Saints, the Doctrines of Election and Predestination are frequently misunderstood outside of Reformed Theology, which is simply the belief that sacred Scripture is the Word of God and it has final authority when it come to matters of faith.

In their book, Doctrine of Election: Chosen by God, and teaching commentary on Ephesians 1, Drs. Mike & Altheria took time to carefully explain the purpose of a loving and sovereign God in His redemptive plan for sinful mankind; How uninfluenced, and before creation as outlined in Genesis 1, He (alone) had predetermined and in His own good pleasure, would choose certain people to be saved.

Humanity wants to argue that this eliminates their ability to use their ‘free will’ to either choose Salvation or even to reject it as if the choice was truly theirs as unregenerated human beings.

Theologian John Calvin said it best, “Now, election and predestination are but the exercise of God’s sovereignty in the affairs of salvation, and all that we know about them is what has been revealed to us in the Scriptures of truth. The only reason why anyone believes in election is because he finds it clearly taught in God’s Word.”
