START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Ephesians 1:11-12
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
CHOSEN … PREDESTINED / EPHESIANS 1:11-12
Note that this does not mean that God determines ahead of time who will be spiritually saved and who will be eternally condemned. Though He knows all that will take place, He does not cause or force us to make predetermined choices. So, Paul is pointing out that it is still our own choice whether we will be part of God’s overall plan and eternal purpose for people who willingly follow Him. This meaning comes from Ephesians 1:13, where Paul tells the Ephesian believers that they also became part of God’s people and came to be included in salvation through Christ when they heard, believed and responded to the word of truth.
