How do we know God's predestinated purpose is true?
Answered in 1 source
God's predestinated purpose is affirmed through Scripture which teaches that all events are ordained by Him before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4-5).
The concept of God's eternal predestinated purpose is foundational in Reformed theology, evidenced in Ephesians 1:4-5, where Paul writes that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, accomplishing His will in a predetermined plan. The story of Moses and Jethro reflects this reality as Jethro enters Moses' life at a divinely orchestrated moment. This shows that God's purposes are not only active in individual lives but also throughout history. Our assurance comes from recognizing God's sovereignty over all events and His faithfulness to His promises, rather than relying on human actions or decisions.
