El Dios bíblico, si es verdadero, tiene que ser Soberano—sobre todas las cosas, sobre todos los eventos y circunstancias, sobre todas las decisiones del mundo. Si es verdadero Dios, entonces es Él que escoge quién ha de ir al cielo y quién no.
La predestinación no es sólo para los calvinistas, dice Sproul, sino para todos los cristianos bíblicos. Esto no crea un concepto caprichoso o tiránico de Dios, sino que le presenta como el Dios amoroso...
