How do we know that predestination is true in scripture?
Answered in 1 source
Predestination is affirmed in scripture, particularly in Romans 8:29-30, which speaks of God's foreknowledge and predestining of His elect.
The doctrine of predestination finds strong support in scriptures like Romans 8:29-30, which states, 'For whom He did foreknow, He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son.' This passage highlights that before the foundation of the world, God chose a specific people for salvation. Ephesians 1:4-5 furthers this by indicating that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless. It is clear that predestination is not contingent upon human decisions or actions but rather stems from God's sovereign will and purpose that ensures the certainty of His love and grace towards His elect.
