If God Desires All Be Saved, Why Does He Only Predestine Some?

About this sermon

Greg Koukl explains that predestination, as described in Romans 8, refers to God’s sovereign act of ensuring that those he foreknew will ultimately be conformed to the image of Christ. While this seems to conflict with 1 Timothy 2:4, which says God desires all people to be saved, the tension is resolved by recognizing different senses of God’s will. Romans 8 reveals God’s sovereign will that cannot fail, while 1 Timothy 2:4 reflects his moral will that humans can reject. #StandtoReason #Apologetics #Christianity #BibleQuestions #Theology #Predestination #GodIsSovereign #Salvation ––––– CALL IN TO THE SHOW ––––– Have a question or comment?
