Today we focus on the uses of the term "predestined" in our Bibles. When we do this we see that it refers to the predetermined salvation plan of God, not His selection of individuals for salvation. The Bible is clear that people must hear the Gospel and then believe in Jesus Christ for salvation, and that this decision is not made for us. Unfortunately, our English Bibles have influence from the Latin Vulgate in many places, and the concept of "predestination" is one of them.
