Predestination is quite a complex topic, but one that Paul seems to articulate very easily here. It almost carries the notion that it is expected. What is undeniable is the fact that God controls everything that happens. What isn't so clear is how predestination can exist side by side with free will. In a way, predestination is also counterintuitive to the Great Commission. And yet, this is a topic that one should be very careful in not reading in one's own intentions.
I am actually getting inclined to dig deeper into this topic, but I am deciding that if I ever do so, it should not be to the detriment of the daily readings.
I'm curious how much the Old Testament has to say about predestination. In this particular passage, Paul is not even analyzing how predestination is possible. He is merely stating the fact of what a Christian is predestined to be.
