I) Predestination is Biblical fact – v.5
Predestination occasionally applies to God’s plan – ; – but usually applies to the question of salvation following judgment –

individual – Calvin’s idea – God chose certain individuals for salvation, the 144,000 that are sealed of (either through foreknowledge or foreordaining their destiny, Calvin was perhaps the first to believe both)
collective – Biblical concept – God chose a certain group to save, the believers – ; , ;
Predestined to adoption as sons – ; – Jesus, the begotten Son, is given up for the adoption of many, the spiritual – ,
To demonstrate that any individual can resist this predestination, we notice what happens to those who reject this adoption – ; ;
II) Predestination is great bounty – v.3
All spiritual blessings – – what will God keep back from us if He gave up His Son
Some of the blessings the predestined enjoy in Christ:
answered prayer – ;
power over temptation – ;
forgiveness from sin – ;
wisdom for living –
III) Predestination has purpose – v.4
Holy – separated – – to serve and honor God
Blameless – – to overcome the guilt of sin
Concl: God has chosen the spiritually-minded believers to save, to make them holy that they may serve Him.
