Predestination and John 3 16: Reformed Theology EXPLAINED!

that Scripture life 😎🔥 is committed to bringing you videos like John 3 16: Reformed Theology and MORE!

In this video, I give a concise overview on the two major points of views in regards to the question, "Who will be saved?" Does John 3 16 teach that anyone who chooses to follow Jesus out of their own free will will be saved? Or has God predestined all of those that will come to Jesus? What is the stance from a John 3 16: Reformed Theology point of view?

I never get tired of hearing the truth of the Gospel and how we actually come to salvation by His grace alone. Thankful for his grace and mercy in my life. Great video!

Hi justo. Keep teresa in prayer she will have shoulder sugary on the 30 of this month

Question. Some may be wondering this…The whosoever…do you think that maybe some think they are making a choice for salvation but those are the ones that God is drawing they just don’t realize it…?

thanks brother Justo. question, when people ask "well if God draws the elect, why should we evangelize then"?? could it make sense to see it as, well because we have no knowledge of course on who God will save, we have to offer the gospel to EVERYONE, since we definitely do not know God's will for certain people...? because sometimes I wonder if I should evangelize but I know God commands us...I was just trying to connect the two thoughts haha.

Hey brother, here's a few tips from the audience: First, turn down the background music. For some reason it always comes out louder and more distracting on YouTube than in the edit software.
Next, move the camera in. This looks like you're talking to someone over at the next table in a restaurant. Invite us to sit with you.
Finally, the light behind you on the wall is making your face dark because the camera factors it in and darkens the image to maintain light balance. Moving the camera in might help this. If not, turn that light off.
Cheers.

Don't try limit God to these theologies.
I believe God is able to use
our God-given free will to predestine us according to His own Will and foreknowledge. He is Sovereign,
not limited to 5-point theologies understood by learned men, His ways are much higher than our thoughts, rather come to Him like a child.

A few verses up from john 3:16 those who are in the flesh is flesh (the natural man who thinks the things of God are foolish to him he cant understand 1 cor 2: 14 because it's spiritual decerned then Jesus goes on to say those of the spirit are spirit john 3:6 so the for God so live the world he gave his only son that ( who so ever) is the one born of the spirit Ezekiel 36:26 God will put a new heart in you and place his spirit in you ( God will ) thats the who so ever .. the ones God changed their heart to receive him and after that change hear the gospel and beleive .

About your content. Saying that the non calvinist position paints a picture of Jesus who is at the mercy of his creation is an absurd strawman. What it does is paint a picture of Jesus who respects the Free Will that he gave us when he created us in his image. The church is referred to as the bride of Christ, meaning he has proposed, but the marriage doesn't happen unless the intended bride accepts The proposal, and not as the slave of Christ who has been purchased whether or not we will it. Our Free Will choice is not something we take away from Jesus it's something that he has given to us.
The worst absurdity in Calvinism is that it denies human free will when every calvinist on Earth is constantly using their free will to make decisions. You are deciding right now whether or not to respond to this and what words you would choose. Therefore Calvinism forces you to deny something you have constant immediate first-hand experience of, just as if it would force you to insist that the color blue doesn't exist.
Worse than that it corrupts the gospel by painting a picture of Jesus who is not merely saving us from our sin but is ultimately the cause of our sin, having determined that we would sin, and worse still having determined that most people would reject the free gift of salvation.
If Jesus had been a calvinist he would have said to nicodemus, "for God so loved a small collection of people from various Nations that he sent his only son that only those that he gives the gift of faith to without their consent would be saved. But he hates most people."
I would recommend you spend some time on soteriology 101 learning the provisionist perspective, because it will clear up many of these misconceptions and also help you to understand more clearly what Calvinism actually teaches.
Cheers and God bless you
