[Willa]

True faithful believers in Christ are destined to be with Christ for eternity,  but all who have not received God's plan of redemption through Christ's blood are destined by default for the lake of fire which was meant for the devil and his angels.  John 3:18, Matt. 25:41, 46.  

 

Satan is the god of this world, and the whole world is already condemned and will follow him to the lake of fire.  The only escape is to receive the call of the Holy Spirit on their lives and receive the light given them first in nature and then in God's word.  John 3:19  Romans 1:21-22  

 

We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.  Eph. 2:10   God has prepared good works for us to walk in as we walk in the Spirit.  But we have free will to choose not to obey and lose the rewards and blessings of obeying God.  It is so amazing to know that we are in the center of God's will and to watch Him work through us.

 

There is no personal kismet, fate or destiny that is set in stone.  God's grace and light can be resisted, as can the leading of the Holy Spirit.  It is God's will that all come to repentance and saving knowledge of Him, but all don't.

Your destiny is to believe in God, fear him, and keep his commandments: for that is the whole of the Law

[Wildstar]

I believe everyone is pre-destined to believe in Christ Jesus for eternal salvation as it's gods will.  It's unfortunate that many people do not take this path of pure and loyal faith.

Amen To The Faith

 

in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

 

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

 

not by works, so that no one can boast.

 

For we are God’s handiwork,

 

created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:7-10 (NIV)

But

 

Say to them, 'As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked,

 

but rather that they turn from their ways and live.

 

Turn! Turn from your evil ways!

 

Why will you die, people

 

of Israel?' Ezekiel 33:11 (NIV)

 

A Little

 

And someone said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them,

 

“Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. Luke 13:23-24 (ESV)

 

Truth Checker

 

"There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. Luke 13:28 (NIV)

 

Is In Order, You Think?

 

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

 

But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14 (NIV)

God Be With You. Amen.

 

Based on Biblical accounts of God's elect, they have a destiny to fulfill for Him which He has called them for. We especially see this with Christ going up to some of His Apostles when selecting them, commanding them to follow Him and they got up and followed. Jesus said He chose them.

 

But not all believers are 'chosen' like that. I do believe all believers have been 'called' to believe on Jesus Christ though.
