βœ… PREDESTINATION IS A PROGRAM
**********************************

πŸ”‘ LORD has limited himself for the sake of righteous judgment.

πŸ”· Here is the verse that talks about how we got predestined at the program level.

πŸ“– 1 Corinthians 8α₯6 (KJV)
β€œBut to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.”

βœ… "...the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him;..." These words are clear to understand that we believers who are saved by Jesus Christ are the one who has received everything from the father. Meaning; the father has prepared everything for us.

βœ… "All things" means:-

1. The Gospel,
2. Our Faith,
3. Our Free Will,
4. Our Hope and everything,

πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡

πŸ”΄ But all those FOUR KEY THINGS are made under G-d’s program.

⭐ MEANING:-

πŸ”· 1. The GOSPEL:- is believing in Jesus Christ to get salvation for free.

πŸ”· 2. OUR FAITH:- is a gift given to all people naturally. Any person can use it to accept the Gospel which was revealed through his Grace.

πŸ”· 3. OUR FREE WILL:- is a part of our natural personality. It is the only way that will let us use our NATURAL FAITH when we accept the Gospel.

πŸ”· 4. OUR HOPE AND EVERYTHING:- is something we will surely get into when we believe the Gospel by NATURAL FAITH, but this will be completed if we keep our NATURAL FAITH on the Gospel until the end.

πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰πŸ‘‰ So,

πŸ“– Ephesians 1α₯5 (KJV)
β€œHaving predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,”

βœ… The above verse is talking about G-d's full sovereignty and how he made a program even before the start of the world. But when we go deep to understand his program, we find his judgment is waiting for those who don't believe. So, when we go deep again, we find that G-d has limited himself for the sake of righteous judgment.

βœ… That's it! Predestination is a program.

βœ… Limited Sovereignty is a solution.

⭐ Limited Sovereignty also teaches that there are some special situations where G-d uses his full sovereignty. But the main teaching of Limited sovereignty is to show that G-d has limited himself for the sake of righteous judgment.
