Joshua, a leader of God's people in ancient times, exhorted his countrymen: " Choose for yourself today whom you will serve As for me and my household, we shall serve Jehovah." { Joshua 24:15 }
Similarly, God's prophet Jeremiah said: " Obey, please , the voice of Jehovah in what I am speaking to you, and it will go well with you, and your soul will continue to live." { Jeremiah 38:20 }
Would a just and loveing God encourage people to do right in the hope of a reward if he knew that they were destined to fail ! No, Such encouragement would be hypocritical.
So when good or bad things happen in your life, it is not because theses events are inevitable Very often, ' Unforseen occurances ' are simply the consequences of other people's decisions weither wise or unwise { Ecclesisates 9:11 }
No , your future is not planned out before you, and your decisions determine what your everlasting future will be
