IT IS GOD WHO CHOOSES OUR DESTINY
By Edwin Christiaan
The Lord has made everything for His own purposes, even the wicked for a day of disaster!
Proverbs 16:4 NLT
For example, God told the hard-hearted evil king of Egypt, Pharaoh, who went after the Israelites to kill them, but instead ended up drowning with his whole army in the Red Sea, the following: “I have appointed you for the very purpose of displaying My power in you and to spread My fame throughout the earth!” (See Romans 9:17 NLT)
This message shows that God chooses people according to His own purposes!
Romans 9:11 NLT
That’s why the Bible says that,
God chooses to show mercy to some, and He chooses to harden the hearts of others so they refuse to listen!
Romans 9:18 NLT
Now we understand why Jesus said:
You didn’t choose Me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit!
John 15:16 NLT
So, it is God who decides to show mercy to whom He chooses! You can neither choose it nor work for it! (See Romans 9:16)
