Time like a bubble

I cannot and will not contest that God has foreordained those who will be saved. He has. But think of time as a bubble. God holds the bubble in his hand, and we are inside. All of our lives are predetermined outside the bubble, from birth to death forming one cohesive whole…but inside “time” things are constantly taking shape by our choices. Inside the bubble, our minds are confined to the linear progression of time, and predestination is almost irrelevant to us, because we cannot fathom it. We act according to time, making choices in every moment in an effort to attain God. That’s why we are “eager to make our calling and election sure” and “work out our salvation with fear and trembling.”

One thought on “Time like a bubble

  1. I really enjoy your blog. I’m reading The Problem of Pain and I keep having to remind myself that it is not Lewis who is brilliant, but Christ who chose to be brilliant through Lewis. Every book he writes makes me want to start writing, and sharing his work. I feel only slightly guilty in that I wish I could get nearly as excited about Scripture as I do about Lewis or Spurgeon. Keep sharing your words, and God bless 🙂
