Its a dizzying privilege to be alive today under Almighty God's grace! What an amazing life He has given us!

6:18 I'm glad you said "personally" bc the Scriptures say only a few will find salvation. (Matthew 7:14)

[TheOneAndOnlyEli]

Amen Jeff amazing video God is sovereign over everything and in control and we need to just put our faith and trust in Him and do His will our lives our the best in His hands and He knows best

[qvmmsvv]

This teaching is biblical and it’s so sad that someone would deny it “ for the very fact that it’s so comforting knowing that he has a purpose for everything that takes place in our lives!

What a WONDEROUS HOLY GOD....So full of MERCY & GRACE... Thank you for sharing this...

“not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” - 2 Peter 3:9b. we have free will. God doesn’t want us to go to hell, he doesn’t create some people for hell, people who go to hell choose it. That’s why it says “come” to repentance. It’s a choice.

Whenever you say “ watch this” it’s reminds me of dear, sweet Charles Stanley

This really moved me to tears thinking about God's sovereignty.

[dalepietens]

My view of presdestination is as such: God is sovereign and as such knows all and everything since before creation. He allows things to happen, good and bad, to His glory. Thank God He keeps His hands over all of us, or Satan would surely kill us all. That being said, He still gave us free will to make our own choices, good or bad, while always knowing what those choices would be. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

Romans 9, if understood as Leighton Flowers explains it, makes so much more sense and is more beautiful than any Calvinist interpretation. Romans 9 is not about salvation, but God's redemptive plan and the people He's elected to bring it about. Paul is talking to hardened Jews who crucified the Messiah, and they must accept that was the role that God chose them to play.

I'm really glad you guys weren't my first introduction to Christianity. Double predestination is nonsense.

[molitorsk]

Thank you guys for this vid, needs to be much longer! Pastor John Macarthur, Steve Lawson have very good sermons teaching on predestination, too. Also, Willmington's Guide to the Bible has an entire study guide that is full of sound scripture teaching.

I got Mormons on my reddit post watching this video, yo!

[Swishbaby]

Jesus talks about his sheep hearing his voice. I hear your voice Lord! Hallelujah!

[scottsinger]

You guys are spot-on!
I'm extremely particular in what I believe!
Thank you Lord Jesus!
And thank you too guys!

Did you hear Flame (Christian rapper) has shifted from a reformed calvinist to Lutheran? He has a video of him discussing bible verses from the Lutheran perspective and the shift from Calvinism with Jordan B Cooper.

Honestly, they make reasonable assertions and I think a dialogue between y’all would be fantastic and super helpful!

[aWhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

I think many confuse foreknowledge with predestination.

[anthonydewayne]

Why try to confuse people? The simplicity of salvation in Christ is Grace

[mauricioinfante]

The doctrine of eleccion makes us humble, understanding that we're not elected by anything we can do, just because God wants, and that doesn't make us better, thank you Lord.
