The Concept of Predestination

Predestination, as mentioned in Romans 8 verse 30, refers to God deciding on the destiny and destination of our journey even before it begins. This means that God had a plan and purpose for creation, including our existence, which was not our decision. Sometimes, Christians may reject the idea of predestination due to prejudices or misunderstanding. However, accepting predestination can be spiritually humbling and comforting, as it acknowledges our complete dependence on God for salvation.
