And so, we come to the predestination of believers. For the question is asked, how does God predestine believers for salvation, if men choose of their own free will to either accept or reject the message of the gospel? The answer to that question is that God ensures that all believers of their own free will respond to the gospel message. So how does God do that? He does that by applying the converse principle to their minds, than He does to the minds of the unbelievers. In other words, rather than blinding their minds, God opens the understanding of the believers, so that they can see the truth of the gospel message and thus respond to it. And so, in order to establish the truth from scripture, that God gives understanding to the minds of believers in order that they may be saved, I have quoted three witnesses that confirm that same truth to us. The three witnesses are the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the apostle Paul.
