John Calvin declared 'By predestination we mean the eternal decree of God, by which He determined with Himself whatever He wished to happen with regard to every man. He clearly taught that God, in the fulness of His sovereignty by 'His eternal and immutable counsel,' has decreed some to salvation, others to damnation, and as He owes nothing to either, the elect have to bless Him everlastingly, and the reprobate have no right to complain. Such a harsh conclusion may be the logical one. But Calvin forgot that God is love, not pure logic. He forgot, too, that even logic is human.
Logic is reason arrogating to itself the right of judging alone, supremely, and without appeal.
But we should not presume to impose upon God our conclusions, however unanswerable, however clear they may seem to our intellect. This whole subject of Predestination must be viewed in the light of one of the basic principles clearly enunciated in Scripture. God loves all mankind, and His eternal purpose for men is good.
