I hope this link works for you. It is not overly long but seems like there has been some talk up north
about part of Canada leaving.
‘Those whom He foreknew He also predestined’ (Romans 8:29) does not mean God arbitrarily picked some and rejected others with no regard to anything about us.saw who would freely say ‘Yes’ to Jesus when the gospel was offered — and every single one of those people He joyfully marked out in advance (‘predestined’) to be adopted, justified, sanctified, and glorified.He foreknew your willing faith, and because He saw it, He predestined you to become exactly like His Son. God simply ratifies and guarantees the free choice He always knew we would make.” The choices we would make, NOT hat means that all events, including an individual's fate, are determined by God, leaving no room for personal choice or autonomy. This view suggests that people are chosen for salvation or condemnation based solely on God's will, rather than their own decisions or actions. THIS IS NOT ME.
