The Greek word rendered "
predestinate "
is found only in these six passages ,
Acts 4 :
28 ;
Rom .
8 :
29 ,
30 ;
1 Cor .
2 :
7 ;
Eph .
1 :
5 ,
11 ;
and in all of them it has the same meaning .
They teach that the eternal ,
sovereign ,
immutable ,
and unconditional decree or "
determinate purpose "
of God governs all events .
This doctrine of predestination or election is beset with many difficulties .
It belongs to the "
secret things "
of God .
But if we take the revealed word of God as our guide ,
we must accept this doctrine with all its mysteriousness ,
and settle all our questionings in the humble ,
devout acknowledgment , "
Even so ,
Father :
for so it seemed good in thy sight ."
For the teaching of Scripture on this subject let the following passages be examined in addition to those referred to above ;

Hodge has well remarked that , "
rightly understood ,
this doctrine (
1 )
exalts the majesty and absolute sovereignty of God ,
while it illustrates the riches of his free grace and his just displeasure with sin . (
2 .)
It enforces upon us the essential truth that salvation is entirely of grace .
That no one can either complain if passed over ,
or boast himself if saved . (
3 .)
It brings the inquirer to absolute self -
despair and the cordial embrace of the free offer of Christ . (
4 .)
In the case of the believer who has the witness in himself ,
this doctrine at once deepens his humility and elevates his confidence to the full assurance of hope " (
Outlines ).
