God’s Foreknowledge vs. Free Will: How Salvation Works

B5L5 Does God choose who will be saved, or do we have free will? In this Bible study, Les Feldick uses the story of Isaac and Rebekah in Genesis 24 to explain the beautiful balance between God’s foreknowledge and our choice. You will learn how Abraham’s servant is a picture of the Holy Spirit calling out a Bride for Christ. Les Feldick also dives into the genealogies of Genesis to explain the origins of the Middle Eastern nations and why Abraham insisted Isaac’s wife come from his own people.
