Predestination

1 Timothy 2:3-4 and 2 Peter 3:9

1 John 2:2 – limited atonement – Christ purchased the church of God with His own blood

Are some destined to destruction?

Chosen…

Chosen before formation, appointed before birth

Christ is “the Savior of the world” but not all the world will be saved

Do all that God gives to Christ come to faith in Christ?

Does God choose people to be saved, or do people choose God and so are saved?

Does man choose God, or does God choose man?

Does salvation depend on you believing or on God regenerating?

Election – is it because of us or God?

GOD chooses

God chose us because He knew us

God makes our choice of Christ certain

Hebrews 2:9

If God wants everyone to be saved, why did Christ purposefully speak in parables?

John 6:37, John 6:44, John 6:64-65

John 10:26

John 11:49-52

Scripture which indicates God has not preordained everything

The Potter and His clay

The will of God

“unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God” is a description, not a command

Why would a good and all powerful God make some people who were destined for hell?

Why would God command all to repent but not everyone will?

Who saves us and can we loose our salvation?
