I’m not worried about it. I’m already on the list.I'm your huckleberry.
Predestination is a given, or should be a given, in Christian thought and belief. God already knows where we will end up so it doesn't seem logical to believe in free will, but our free will is what determines our predestination. God doesn't dictate (force) our decisions like a puppet on a string. Our decisions are our own and dictates our ultimate outcome but God already knows our outcome. It can get pretty deep to think about, but since God transcends time and we are bound by time, it makes it a little more comprehensible, but at the same time unbelievable. And yet, even within the concept of predestination among religions, the application of it differs, which, to me, makes God that much more awesome. Did you get that? In other words, don't worry about predestination.
Only if you obey his commandments.I believe in Jesus Christ who was crucified for my sins so that I may have salvation eternally.
