In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,…
The Believer’s hope is entirely rested in Christ Jesus – The LORD and summation of all things created. For our hope to truly deliver results unto us, it must be rested in the sufficiency of Christ. This is why we are always encouraged to remain steadfast and connected the LORD throughout our existence.
Predestination means having been completed in time past before the time of manifestation. Before the foundations of the earth, the lamb of God has been slain. It is with same understanding we must perceive our position in Christ; we are called to be instruments in the hand of our God fashioned for His purposes.
Hallelujah
For I know the thoughts I have for you (Jer. 29v11), the Holy Books assure us that we have been called unto God even before we were born. Being predestined therefore means we must always go back to the Holder of our original template or to the Creator who fashioned us. This really does not make sense in the light of the exhortation for all men to pray and not faint.
May The LORD strengthen us.
