Do you believe in predestination?

As discussions of Reformed theology, or what some call Calvinism, had among believers, this is a topic that can lead to heated debate as those with different views wish to defend their position.

But as we were just reminded, predestination is a biblical word.

So we mustn't deny predestination, but instead seek to define it biblically.

This is Renewing Your Mind on this Monday.

I'm Nathan W. Bingham.

This week, you'll hear messages from one of R.C.

Sproul's classic series, Chosen by God.

And to mark the 40th anniversary of the publication of Chosen by God, when you give a donation in support of Renewing Your Mind at renewingyourmind.org, we'll send you a special 40th anniversary edition of the book,

and a copy of the series on DVD.

Plus, we'll unlock the messages and the study guide in the free Ligonier app.

So be sure to respond this week and help more people to discover the teaching that by God's grace has had a profound impact on so many people's lives.

Well, despite the debate, when it comes to predestination, R.C.

Sproul argues that every Christian believes in it.

Here's Dr. Sproul.

That was R.C.

Sproul on this Monday edition of Renewing Your Mind, charitably introducing the subject of predestination.

Dr. Sproul always sought to represent the positions of those he disagreed with fairly, and that attitude is evident in his series and book, Chosen by God.

As we heard today, if we want to be diligent students of God's Word, we have to study and try to understand what the Bible means by divine predestination.

To help you do that, when you give a donation in support of Renewing Your Mind at renewingyourmind.org or when you call us at 800-435-4343, we'll send you a special 40th anniversary edition of the book and the series on DVD, all to thank you for your generosity.
