All of us as Christians can point to a moment in time when we found ourselves coming to Christ, praying for forgiveness, repenting, believing and becoming a Christian. But if we think that’s where God’s interest in us began, we are sadly mistaken. The Bible makes it abundantly clear that our individual salvation was not a thought in time, but a determination before time! Paul could write to Timothy for example, “Who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began” (2 Tim.1:9). Our salvation is pretemporal, ‘before the foundation of the earth’ (Eph.1:4).
In this fourth episode of our series ‘Take Another Look’, Pete and the Curious team get controversial as they debate and disagree over the understanding of what has been classically understood as the doctrine of unconditional election! They will look at foreknowledge, sovereignty, human responsibility, prevenient grace, and more; as they contend over this difficult issue. Tune in this week as the team agree and disagree over this vital issue
