-Predetermination: God's Decree- To have one event predetermined every event must have been predetermined. Predetermination is comforting to the Christian, we really can believe that all things work out for our good because our sovereign, loving God is in charge of everything. We must also remember that sometimes God uses obvious force - in our lives and in the lives of others, when he doesn't let us or them get what they want or forces us to do the right thing.
