Supralapsarianism is the belief that God decreed both the fall and salvation before the foundation of the world, emphasizing God’s sovereignty over all events.
Supralapsarianism teaches that God, in His eternal decree, decided to create the world, to allow the fall of man, and to provide salvation for the elect, all without any foreseen condition. This perspective underscores the sovereign will of God in which He is not only aware of but actively decrees all events, including sin, to ultimately fulfill His divine purposes. The foundational verses for this view include Isaiah 46:9-11, which highlights God’s control over past, present, and future events, and Romans 9:22-23, which indicates that God prepares vessels of mercy and vessels of wrath for His glory.
