How do we know that predestination is true?

Answered in 23 sources

Predestination is affirmed in Scripture, particularly in Ephesians 1:5 and Romans 8:29-30, which show that God has chosen and called individuals according to His purpose.

The doctrine of predestination is deeply rooted in the Scriptures. Ephesians 1:5 clearly states that God predestinated us to be adopted as His children according to the good pleasure of His will. Additionally, Romans 8:29-30 explains that those God foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son. These verses illustrate that predestination is not a mere theological concept but a divine reality established by God's sovereign will. It emphasizes the assurance that God’s plan for salvation is certain and unchangeable, rooted in His eternal purpose.
