Ephesians 1:4-5) What is scary about predestination? What is comforting? Why does Paul bring up predestination? Why do you think he praising God for it in the "hearing" of the Ephesians?
Every since I first heard about predestiny in Romans it has been a mystery to me. I have tried to obtain the best understanding that I could relating to predestiny. My question was; if God has already chosen my destiny then, I don't quite understand the free will, the works, the witnessing but I do know that I love Jesus.
What is comforting to know is that God has allowed me to be apart of his family, to have the chance to get to know him better, to have the chance to be able to be with him soon. Also, too add that before Jesus we where lost souls. Because of God's loving kindness he gave his son to redeem me and that allowed me another chance to get my life in order to be in the family of God. It still comes back to the free will, we have to mindful of how we conduct ourselves:D
