Lets please look at Eph 1:5
5 [FONT="]Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
Unto the adoption of Children or the placing as a Son.
Paul writes in Gal 3:26
[/FONT][FONT=arial, helvetica, sans serif]For ye are all the children/sons of God by faith in Christ Jesus[/FONT]
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans serif]This therefore tells us that Faith in Christ Jesus, which reveals ones Son-ship with God comes as a result of having been predestinated unto the adoption of Sons.
So Faith in Christ is a blessing of predestination ! And yet many so called believers dont even believe in predestination ![/FONT]
Just as you have clearly shown Brother,
Paul preached the Gospel of predestination !
This adoption of Sons Eph. 1:5 results in Faith in Jesus Christ after receiving in our heart
the Spirit of Adoption.
Rom. 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear;
but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
And that's a great confirmation that we are His Sons; that from before the foundation of the World Eph. 1:3-4,
we have always been His Children !
Gal. 4:6-7
6
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. 7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but
a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
Gal. 3:26
For ye are all the children of God by [or because of] Faith.
And with this scripture Paul warned:
Gal. 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
