God's Sovereignty and Man's Free Will
The Election by God
"...elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father..." (1 Peter 1:2a)
-
We will look at several verses with terms like chosen, elect, and predestinated.
-
These are strong terms that emphasize the sovereignty of God.
-
God is in charge.
-
God has the right to lay things out the way His perfect wisdom and love laid them out.
-
And it includes the election by God.
The Free Choice by Man
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)
-
God so loved the world that whoever believes.
-
His love is for the world.
-
Not just "love", but He "so loved" all of those who would perish.
-
And believing is offered to whoever will.
