Hello, Brethren, I’m glad that I completed my first lesson today.

SOTERIOLOGY: PREDESTINATION PART ONE.

I learnt that salvation is central to Christian faith, but it is often misunderstood because people rely on human reasoning instead of God’s Word. Romans 8 reveals that God’s plan for salvation involves foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification, and glorification. I discovered that being “called” means God invites all, though not all respond, while “chosen” or “elect” means God selects some for Himself before the foundation of the world. Predestination means God has marked out His plan beforehand, rooted in His love. I also learnt about the debate between Calvinism and Arminianism concerning God’s sovereignty and human responsibility. Ultimately, predestination teaches me to trust God’s wisdom, accept His grace, and live a holy life in Christ.
