Before the foundation of the world, God did "chose" and He did "predestine" certain things to be so. Are these words used in connection with certain individuals being chosen or predetermined for salvation and all others being damned to hell? A study of the text reveals this is not the case, not even close. Instead, it's a beautiful text full of the promises and blessings that God decided ahead of time, that by Christ's actions, would be true of the one who trusts in the Lord, to those that are "in Christ".
