What is predestination in Christian theology?

Answered in 2 sources

Predestination refers to God's eternal decision to save certain individuals, which reflects His sovereignty and grace.

In Reformed theology, predestination is a biblical doctrine illustrated in Ephesians 1:5, where Paul explains that we have been predestined to be adopted as God's children. This means that before creation, God chose certain individuals to be the recipients of His mercy and grace. This doctrine underscores God's sovereign control over salvation and reassures believers of His intentional purpose in their lives, promoting confidence and worship.
