The question is this:
Does God know every decision we will make? If so, do we really have a choice or free will?
God is using His people (me and you) to accomplish His purpose.
God had a purpose for the world when he created it. He created humans in order to achieve that purpose.
We have the choice to either follow him and work toward that purpose or reject him and live in sin therefore hindering the work of Christians. Though God does not force his will upon us, he knows the choice we will make. Working toward achieving his purpose is to spread the living word throughout the world, so that everyone has the ability to chose for themselves.
GOD KNOWS
Think about it this way:
“If a bunch of people get on a ship going to London, the people on the ship have the ability to do whatever they want while on the ship. But whether they like it or not, the ship WILL end up in London.”
The same is true with God….
He uses us to accomplish his purpose for mankind. So in essence we are the ship.
Even if we chose not to accept or follow him, his purpose WILL be carried out.
There is no getting around the will of God. God has predetermined his will among mankind. We can chose to be apart of it, or we can sit back and watch it happen anyways.
Either way, it is going to happen..period.
I think that God knows those who chose to be apart of his purpose, so he blesses them with the tools and resources necessary.
i.e. Certain talents, friends, spiritual gifts, etc.
I love this. Very insightful.
