The Bible affirms that all things, including our spiritual condition and salvation, are purposed by God.
According to 2 Corinthians 5:18, 'All things are of God,' indicating that everything related to our existence, including our reconciliation to Him, is divinely orchestrated. This concept means that not only the world as a whole, but also each individual's spiritual journey originates from God's sovereign will. It reinforces the idea that salvation is an act entirely of God's grace, emphasizing that human effort plays no role in bringing about reconciliation with God or in our spiritual transformation. Our understanding of life, death, and all spiritual matters must acknowledge God's ultimate authority and control over everything.
