Predestination and Free Will: Exploring God's Sovereignty and Our Choice

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 21-day Bible study on one of Christianity's most profound theological debates: Predestination vs. Free Will. This study invites you to journey through Scripture to better understand how God's sovereign plan and our personal choices weave together in the story of salvation.

The tension between predestination and free will has engaged believers for centuries. On one hand, the Bible clearly teaches that God is sovereign, in control, and has a divine plan for every believer (Ephesians 1:11). On the other hand, Scripture commands us to respond, repent, and choose to follow Christ (Joshua 24:15). How can these truths coexist without contradiction? This study will explore key passages presenting both views and invite you to thoughtfully reflect on their meaning.

Throughout the next three weeks, you'll read Scripture passages that reveal God's sovereign election, human responsibility, God's grace, and the mystery surrounding these doctrines. Each day features carefully selected primary and supporting verses, a devotional exploring the theological implications, reflection questions to deepen understanding, journaling prompts to apply insights, and a prayer to connect your heart to God.

Remember, this topic is complex and the Bible does not resolve every question in a neat formula. But it beautifully balances divine sovereignty and human freedom, inviting a humble yet confident faith in God's perfect wisdom. May this study draw you closer to a meaningful understanding of God's amazing plan and your place within it.

Prepare your heart and mind to listen, learn, and grow as the Holy Spirit guides you through these pivotal biblical truths.
