What God foreordained works in the details of life. God's eternal purpose was foreordained before time began. What God foreordained works in time and history. What God foreordained in your life does not exclude personal choices and actions. What God foreordained in your life works concurrently with your choices and actions.
What God foreordained was before time began (Romans 8:28-30; Ephesians 1:4-6; 2:10). All that God has foreordained works concurrently with your choices (Philippians 2:12-13). What God foreordained works together for good to those who love Him and for His glory. Those good things are experienced in the lives of God's people.
What God foreordained in life does not take away your choice. God allows us to make choices, even bad choices. He neither condones nor approves sin. Yet, God works to bring good out of evil and glory to God's justice, love, and mercy. Be assured as a believer that God is at work in all the details of our lives. What God foreordained is for your good and God's glory (Genesis 50:20-21; Romans 11:36).
God's work is foreordained in our Lord Jesus Christ. His death on the cross for every believer's sin was determined before time began (1 Peter 1:20; Revelation 13:8). The determinate counsel of God was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, as the Savior for all who believe (Acts 2:23). God foreknows His people in Christ, yet the gospel is offered freely to all (Romans 8:29; 10:13).
