Scripture reveals that salvation is solely the work of God, born out of His purpose and will, and that He chooses, predestines, and graces us to become His children, ultimately forgiving our trespasses through the blood of Christ.

Predestination – Judging Others (Part B)

The Bible teaches that God's sovereignty allows for human choice and election, but Calvinists often change the definition of predestination to mean pre-cause, undermining the concept of free will. This doctrine can be appealing to intellectuals, but it is not supported by the facts and can be damaging to Christianity. [... more]

He initiates the calling, actively seeking us first, which underscores that our relationship with Him begins with His pursuit of us.

God's Unbreakable Chain of Salvation Pt. 1 (Audio)

God's unbreakable chain of salvation is a concept that emphasizes His prior knowledge and predestination in the lives of believers. According to Romans 8, God's foreknowledge is not a divine action, but rather a divine attribute that allows Him to discern how individuals will respond to the gospel. This understanding is distinct from Reformed theology, which can be misinterpreted as suggesting that God chooses some to go to heaven and others to hell. In reality, predestination refers to the outcome or goal that God has for each individual, which is to become conformed to the image of His Son. [... more]
