God was not just looking into the future....God was not looking at what "was to be"
God was looking at what is.
For God has no past,
God cant look into his future for he has none.
And so my salvation is not just a happy accident.
my salvation was not left up to me to decide and then inform God...
God did not sit and watch me make a choice with the outcome in my hands....NO!
For God is a God of life and a God of action!.....not a god who sits and hopes for the best, with a back-up plan for whatever I might decide to do.
So this means that my salvation is an "act".....of God's Grace...
Not accidental, but rather it was predestined
And when things are predestined to happen one way, they can not happen any other way......
