'''Predestination''' is the Biblical doctrine that before the foundation of the world, God has chosen certain individuals to be saved and granted eternal life, while others are left in their sinful state and destined for eternal punishment. This choice is entirely based on God's free and unconditional election and not on any merit or foreseen goodness in individuals. Predestination can also be included as a form of determinism. | '''Predestination''' is the Biblical doctrine that before the foundation of the world, God has chosen certain individuals to be saved and granted eternal life, while others are left in their sinful state and destined for eternal punishment.
