John Calvin on Predestination in ACTS 13:48
from Understanding Christianity · host Sean Cole
Does Acts 13:48 teach that faith is the result of predestination? Or does it teach that those saved were "predisposed" to believe in Jesus? Provisionists and Arminians argue that this passage teaches that sinners were "predisposed" to accept the gospel because they were contrite or had a soft heart prior to regeneration. Sinners placed themselves in a position to accept the gospel because they had humble and contrite hearts that believed in what revelation they had been given. Dr. Sean Cole interacts with this passage, which shows God's unconditional election of sinners before the foundation of the world. He also reads a portion of John Calvin's commentary, which provides excellent insights into God's sovereign choice to save sinners.
