The Practical Out-Working Of PREDESTINATION

The Practical Out-Working
Of PREDESTINATION

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” (Romans 8:28-30)
I understand that the word predestination comes over to us from a Greek word actually made up of two words ‘pro-horizon’. ‘Horizon’ means to mark out boundaries or limits. We get our English word ‘horizon’ from it. The Greek scholars tell me that the prefixed preposition ‘pro’ means ‘before’ and when the verb is compounded it means to ‘mark out the boundaries beforehand.’ The word ‘prohorizo’ is found four times in the scriptures, twice here in our text and again in Ephesians 1:5 & 11. In every place it is found it has to do exclusively with the redemption and final salvation of God’s elect. You observe that in the text it is in direct relation with “those who love God,” “those who are the called according to purpose,” and “those conformed to the image of His Son.”
God’s people are saved on ‘purpose’, not by accident or some ‘lucky’ turn of circumstances. The death of Jesus Christ, which is the justifiable means of their salvation, did not ‘just happen’ (see Acts 1:22-23). It was pre-determined and fixed by the foreordaining will of God. After Peter addressed the men of Israel on the day of Pentecost and reminded them that God had proved the Messiahship of Jesus of Nazareth by signs and wonders, he said to them (v.23), “Him, being delivered (not by Pilate and Herod) by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain” (Also see Acts 4:27-28)
The scripture is literally full of the practical out-working of the pre-determined salvation of God’s people. The salvation of the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well (John 4) is an example. It is said that when Jesus left Judea to go into Galilee that “he must needs go through Samaria,” not because there was not another route; predestination had mapped out His route and it ‘must’ be traveled for the salvation of the woman; and many other of the Samaritans who were brought to Christ by the woman’s testimony.
