Scripture confirms that God predestines His people for salvation before the foundation of the world.
The doctrine of predestination is rooted deeply in Scripture and is integral to understanding God's sovereign grace. In Ephesians 1:4-5, we learn that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, predestining us to adoption as His children. This reflects God's eternal decree and demonstrates that our salvation is not based on human merit but solely on His divine will and purpose. The actions of Eliezer in Genesis 24 serve as an illustration of this concept; he was sent forth to find a bride, predestined for Isaac, just as God sends His Gospel to find and call His elect.
