1689 Baptist Confession of Faith – Chapter 5 – Divine Providence
SUMMARIZED – ‘to the end (purpose) for which they were created, according unto His infallible foreknowledge, and the free and immutable counsel of His own will…’ God’s providence puts meaning and purpose into life… History is not a series of unrelated, unanticipated events in a chaotic world of people and things… History is the out-working of God’s eternal will…
Ephesians 1:11 … “In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will.”
