We had a conversation regarding predestination at bible study yesterday. Some asked how can we be sure whether or not we are God's chosen people and others wonder about the possibility of christians falling away in future. Some suggested that christians cant fall away because God will never let go of his people but in fact, i heard a few cases where christians do turn away from God.
To be honest, Im not sure where i stand in terms of christians falling away. I know that God will never let his people go away from him (as I have been seeing his faithfulness in my own life) but at the same time there are christians who turn away from God. One thing I do know is that predestination is not suppose to make me doubt about whether or not i am one of his chosen people because it is a gift in the first place not out of my own will. Predestination is pointing out to me all the more that I am purely chosen by grace and nothing else.
My bible study leader put it this way in regards to all the doubts and unsureness about being a christian in the future
"if you put your faith outside Jesus, you would doubt on whether or not you will be safe in the future because of the many uncertainties, but if you put your faith inside Jesus, you will be sure that in the future you will still be a christian because Jesus never change!!"
I thought that was helpful as a reminder and hope that it would be helpful for you too :D:D
