OUR FATHER WHOSE PURPOSES ARE BY ELECTION

Romans chapter 9 verses 10 - 13 says this;

10 And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac 11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls), 12 it was said to her, “The older shall serve the younger.” 13 As it is written, “Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.” 

Paul indicates that the paths of the lives of the two sons of Isaac and Rebecca were an illustration of how being elected for the purposes of God  were not a function of personal actions but rather a predetermined outcome where even Jacob and Esau, who were twins, had the decision of their destiny decided before they had a chance to do any good or evil.

God's calling on the lives of men predates them to even before they were born. 

Amen.
