What does the biblical text say?<\/h2>\n <\/p>\n
For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;\u00a0and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified. (Romans 8:29-30)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Is there any injustice in God?<\/h2>\n
No way!\u00a0Some people\u00a0take this passage out\u00a0of\u00a0its context and of the entire Scripture and say that it does not matter the\u00a0man\u2019s choice to be saved or not, because it entirely depends\u00a0on God. The Most High is Omniscient and that means He knows everything that has been in the past, what happens now and what will happen in the future.\u00a0He knows\u00a0everything about everyone.\u00a0The person of God and the way He knows\u00a0all things is much above\u00a0our knowledge, as in the book of Psalms through\u00a0David:<\/p>\n
O LORD, You have searched me and known me.\u00a0You know when I sit down and when I rise up;\u00a0You understand my thought from afar.\u00a0You scrutinize my path and my lying down,\u00a0and are intimately acquainted with all my ways.\u00a0Even before there is a word on my tongue,\u00a0Behold, O LORD, You know it all.\u00a0You have enclosed me behind and before,\u00a0and laid Your hand upon me.\u00a0Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;\u00a0it is too high, I cannot attain to it.<\/strong> (Psalm 139:1-6)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\nG<\/span>od foreknew\u00a0our choice<\/h2>\nThe text of the Epistle\u00a0to Romans 8:29-30 says that God\u00a0predestined those whom He foreknew\u00a0and this is so because he foreknew how\u00a0we will answer to His calling\u00a0to be saved. But\u00a0the call was made to everyone and\u2026<\/p>\n
Each one\u00a0is responsible for the choice he makes\u00a0regarding personal salvation<\/h2>\n
Lord Jesus said while talking to\u00a0Nicodemus:<\/p>\n
\u201cFor God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish<\/strong>, but have eternal life.\u00a0For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.\u00a0He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already,<\/strong> because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\u00a0This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.\u00a0For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.\u00a0But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.\u201d (John 3:16-21)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAs you see, the choice belongs to each man and God knows in advance the choices we will take.\u00a0This does not mean that He chooses for us.\u00a0We and only we are responsible.He had done everything,\u00a0because He had given the most precious He had, His only Son, that whoever\u00a0(again I say, whoever) believes in Him should not perish,\u00a0but have everlasting life.<\/p>\n
What is your choice?\u00a0What do you expect God to do for you to choose to be saved? Does it seem to you\u00a0that what\u00a0He has done is little?<\/span>If you have not repented until now and if you haven\u2019t entered the\u00a0covenant with the Lord Jesus to receive forgiveness of sins, you and only you are responsible for this.Do not delay and\u00a0repent today, even in this moment.<\/p>\nTranslated by Felicia Rotaru<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Question: What is the meaning of passage from the\u00a0Epistle to Romans 8:29-30?

<\/p>\n
For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;\u00a0and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified. (Romans 8:29-30)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Is there any injustice in God?<\/h2>\n
No way!\u00a0Some people\u00a0take this passage out\u00a0of\u00a0its context and of the entire Scripture and say that it does not matter the\u00a0man\u2019s choice to be saved or not, because it entirely depends\u00a0on God. The Most High is Omniscient and that means He knows everything that has been in the past, what happens now and what will happen in the future.\u00a0He knows\u00a0everything about everyone.\u00a0The person of God and the way He knows\u00a0all things is much above\u00a0our knowledge, as in the book of Psalms through\u00a0David:<\/p>\n
O LORD, You have searched me and known me.\u00a0You know when I sit down and when I rise up;\u00a0You understand my thought from afar.\u00a0You scrutinize my path and my lying down,\u00a0and are intimately acquainted with all my ways.\u00a0Even before there is a word on my tongue,\u00a0Behold, O LORD, You know it all.\u00a0You have enclosed me behind and before,\u00a0and laid Your hand upon me.\u00a0Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;\u00a0it is too high, I cannot attain to it.<\/strong> (Psalm 139:1-6)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
G<\/span>od foreknew\u00a0our choice<\/h2>\n
The text of the Epistle\u00a0to Romans 8:29-30 says that God\u00a0predestined those whom He foreknew\u00a0and this is so because he foreknew how\u00a0we will answer to His calling\u00a0to be saved. But\u00a0the call was made to everyone and\u2026<\/p>\n
Each one\u00a0is responsible for the choice he makes\u00a0regarding personal salvation<\/h2>\n
Lord Jesus said while talking to\u00a0Nicodemus:<\/p>\n
\u201cFor God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish<\/strong>, but have eternal life.\u00a0For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.\u00a0He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already,<\/strong> because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.\u00a0This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.\u00a0For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.\u00a0But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.\u201d (John 3:16-21)(NASB)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
As you see, the choice belongs to each man and God knows in advance the choices we will take.\u00a0This does not mean that He chooses for us.\u00a0We and only we are responsible.He had done everything,\u00a0because He had given the most precious He had, His only Son, that whoever\u00a0(again I say, whoever) believes in Him should not perish,\u00a0but have everlasting life.<\/p>\n
What is your choice?\u00a0What do you expect God to do for you to choose to be saved? Does it seem to you\u00a0that what\u00a0He has done is little?<\/span>If you have not repented until now and if you haven\u2019t entered the\u00a0covenant with the Lord Jesus to receive forgiveness of sins, you and only you are responsible for this.Do not delay and\u00a0repent today, even in this moment.<\/p>\n
