WE BELIEVE IN ABSOLUTE PREDESTINATION

 

The Word of God knows nothing of a "partial predestination". Many applaud and say, "amen", when we preach that certain things are predestinated by God; but they get upset and angry when we declare, as the Scriptures most plainly do, that all things, great and small, good and evil, are predestinated by God and are governed by God for the ultimate good of his own elect and the glory of his great name. If you get upset and angry over what the Bible says about God, his character or his work, you simply do not know God. And if anything is plainly and clearly revealed in the Bible, it is this fact - The God of the Bible is a God who absolutely predestinated all that ever comes to pass. God's predestination is simply "the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will" (Eph. 1:11). God brings all things to pass in time, "according to his purpose" in eternal predestination (Rom. 8:28).
