Wrong information on predestination
During a Bible study on Ephesians, a fellow church member told me that some people are predestined to hell before they are born. How can this be?
It can’t be. Scripture speaks of only an election of grace, an election to salvation.
When it comes to people forfeiting the salvation which Jesus Christ won, the Bible makes it clear that people are to blame (Hosea 13:9; Matthew 23:37). God wants all to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4). He wants all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). God does not take pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 33:11).
You can help your fellow church member by passing along this biblical information to him or her.
