Is there any comfort in the doctrine of predestination-is it just another example of a mean God stealing away all our free will and hope- Some claim this, but such an idea is abhorrent and foreign to Scripture, for God is good, merciful, and kind, and predestination comes from Him and is therefore good, merciful, and kind.--There IS reason to be comforted by the doctrine of predestination. Stay with us and be encouraged by it- Be comforted-
