10 Things You Should Know about Predestination

10 Things You Should Know about Predestination
by: Andrew David Naselli
This article is part of the 10 Things You Should Know series.

1. Predestination should result in humility, praise, and comfort.

Sometimes Christians passionately disagree with each other about predestination. But it is pitiful how we can take a Bible teaching that should result in humility, praise, and comfort and instead talk about it with sinful pride, divisiveness, and anxiety. We unreservedly affirm and cherish whatever God has revealed (cf. Isa. 66:2b).

2. Predestination has two parts: choosing to save some (election) and choosing not to save others (reprobation).

Predestination means that God predetermined the destiny of certain individuals for salvation (election) and others for condemnation (reprobation).Election is positive predestination: God sovereignly and graciously chose to save individual sinners. God predestined certain individuals (i.e., predetermined their destiny) for salvation—“vessels of mercy, which [God] has prepared beforehand for glory” (Rom. 9:23); “the elect” (Rom. 11:7); Jesus’s sheep (John 10:27–29).Reprobation is negative predestination: God sovereignly and justly chose to pass over nonelect sinners and punish them. God predestined certain individuals (i.e., predetermined their destiny) for condemnation—“vessels of wrath prepared for destruction” (Rom. 9:22); “the rest” (Rom. 11:7); not Jesus’s sheep (John 10:26).
