Predestination

"'As I live,' says the Lord GOD, 'I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live'" (Ezekiel 33:11).

Some believe that the actions and fate of every human being are set in stone from before birth—but the Bible teaches that God created us with the capacity to choose our destiny. Learn why below.

I was raised pagan and have always felt that the path chosen for me was the wrong one. I want to follow the right path but do not know where to start. I am not even sure that God will want me since I have been pagan for so long.

I am a 32-year-old mother of two and have been married for four years. I need assistance to get on the right path. It wasn't until I received a card in the mail for The Good News and went to your Web site that I gained the courage to write and ask for help.
