God - foreknowledge, creator and predestination are important terms in this discussion. They must be factored in.Foreknowledge - God knew exactly what was ahead, after all He made everything as creator sovereign and omniscient/omnipotent. We undervalue God by not taking these divine attributes into consideration with the outcome of saved/reprobation. Ultimately heaven as well as hell have a prominent part to play in creation's outcome and predestination 'per' the will of God. God with omniscient foreknowledge created some for heaven and some for hell. Or as Paul puts it, "Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?" Both the elect and the reprobate are equally unworthy. The elect chosen before the world was formed (including Adam) receive salvation ONLY because of Christ. The reprobate receive justice for their sins. The difference between the two is in God's will, purpose and (fore)choice. Nothing man can do is of any significance whatsoever to the end result. Hence the end is all of grace. |
