In Acts 17:28 is the essence of Gods Predestined Power over humanity;" For In Him we Live and Move and Exist, We are HIS Offspring!" Oh how this blows away this belief in Free Will! It is IN God that we are alive, that we Move, or function in our everyday living AND Thinking, it is IN HIM, not of ourselves or our will. It is God who is the source of human will. He directs it as he pleases, manipulates it, Determines it, guides it both up and down, both positive and negative. It is IN HIM, or he is the source of our Will. To believe in free will, you are believing that YOU are the source of your will. That YOU Live and Move, according to your own will.

In Romans 8:28, God CAUSES ALL THINGS to work together! Or to not work together, he does BOTH! 2 Corinth. 5:14;" The Love of Christ CONTROLS US!" Those who believe in free will do not understand Gods Predestined Power, his literal control over everything, INCLUDING our wills. Phil. 2:13;" For IT IS GOD who is at work IN YOU, both to WILL( in other words our will is NOT free!) and to work for HIS pleasure!

This is Gods predestined power.

Peace.
