Define Predestination –Foreknowledge-Meaning that our lives have been predetermined by God before we were born.  God chose those whom He foreknew would accept Christ.  He knew beforehand.    God’s ability is well acquainted with the future- Acts 15:18-Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.  God has fixed the destiny beforehand of those who are and who are not of His election.  Predestination is the bringing to ’s election.  Predestination has all to do with our destiny.

Define Election:  Through the Grace of God He chose Christ Jesus for salvation to those who He knew would accept Him..  Election refers to the intention, process and result of making a choice.  It refers to an act of  the divine will.  The Hebrew word Bawkheer means to select, choose, or the person chosen. Election means that God has chosen to save those He foreknew would accept His  Son.  Ephesians 1:4-5 – According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love, having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.
