Biblical Concept: God’s
eternity past
salvation activity
for humanity-in order.
1.
Introduction: The main thing to learn from this study is that there is an
order to God’s eternity past
salvation activity. The activities and order
are as follows:
2. Counsel (boule) - Acts 4:27-28 and Ephesians 1:11.
3.
Foreknowledge (proginosis) - 1 Peter 1:1b-2;
Acts 2:23 and Romans
8:29-30.
4. Predestination (proorizo) - Romans 8:29-30.
5. Called (kaleo) - Romans 8:29-30.
6. Election (eklego) - Matthew 22:14 and Ephesians 1:4.
7.
Conclusion: God’s eternity past salvation activity was not
arbitrary, it
followed a careful order and included each of the above items.
NOTE: The
counsel, foreknowledge, predestination, calling and election
are
presented as individual concepts elsewhere in this site. Add to these
concepts:
The Will of God and The Will of Man (also treated in this site)
and a
complete Biblical understanding of God’s eternity past salvation
activity for
humanity is available.
