In this episode, I first respond to a Reddit troll who completely misunderstood my article on the correlation between obedience and our love for God/success for the Kingdom. Next, I look at Calvin's commentary of John 6:38-39, as well as Ephesians 1:1-12, to see if individuals are predestined (adopted) by God, or if simply the process (or plan) of salvation was predestined by God.
One of the most convincing aspects of John 6, in terms of predestination and election referring to individuals, is the word "everyone". If everyone given to the Son is raised up on the last day, then it must mean that individuals are chosen by God with 100% effective grace. Convincing still further in Ephesians 1 is the list of personal pronouns in the context of God's adoption and predestination unto salvation.
