Wow, as I read all the responses, as my personal beliefs is that God has the purpose for each of us. Now the word predestined, is meaning God forknew or chosen those who have Him or not. Understand, have to becareful how u use that scripture. What driven us to need Christ to come in our lives? Who lead us that? The Holy Spirit. What the point of Christ's death on a cross? To pay our sin debt in full,,past present and future. Those who have Christ in our lives will face, trials, tribulations, temptations and many challenges in our lives, for leading us to give God the glory. But the rewards is based how we live our lives, but not losing slavations. And no, God doesn't made sin. Satan the one snatched us from God what lead to send Jesus Christ to take our place to shed His Blood for us to receive cleansing and covered our sins. Several times include Jesus said, ANYONE who comes to me will have everlasting life. Paul mentioned WHOSOEVER call upon the name of the Lord shall be save/ and it goes on. Now, the point we live is a purpose of God in many ways. This what I learn my mistakes, all the hardships, temptations and how other treated , tho patience thru, but become more heated, I gave in. But tho I failed, not mean I'm a failure. He encouraged me to get up and move on, God is a 2nd chance or even thousand chance. He isn't finish with us yet till He call us Home (those who have ask Christ to come in their life). God gives grace, Grace alone for slavation. Have grace lead us to allow God show what He called us to do, if u fail, go to Him and confess, He will lead u the way. Practice godliness meant for us to deal with what we must set goal what God call us to do. This world is just our wilderness, when time comes I ll be crossing Jordan River to the Promised Land, not bec what I did here, but what He did for me on the cross that lead me Home. That's the purpose for being here. God forknew who have Christ or reject or even based on their approval or works. The latter phrase will not also lead Home. Christ alone that lead us Home. That's the purpose of this life. Being human is bec we sinned, and been passed down to us from adam. Our corruptible body will change immediately into incorruptible when christ comes. Those who died in Christ, the Spirit automatic zoom to Paradise, till Christ comes our body join our Spirit which is no longer fleshly body, HALLELUJAH!! PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME, THERE IS NO OTHER GOD LIKE HIM
