Numerous biblical passages can be cited that plainly teach the divine truth that God predestines men unto salvation. John 6:35-45 , Romans 9:10-24 , and 2 Timothy 1:8-10 all teach this truth. But I shall focus first upon the classicus locus, Ephesians 1:3-11 , for my initial exegetical defense of this divine truth. As space permits, I will then briefly address Romans 9 and John 6 . I invite the interested reader to follow along. I shall use as my base text the Nestle-Aland 27th edition of the Greek New Testament. English translations are my own.
