Ephesians 1:11 (CB)

In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will…

When we preach the gospel God is calling His people to come into a kingdom and submit their lives entirely to a King, (Jesus); an absolute monarch who has the right to determine everything without our consultation and who has revealed His will to us in the pages of the Word of God and calls on us to live in absolute submission and obedience to that revelation.
