Les Feldick Bible Study

What does a person see after he goes through the door of opportunity and looks back?

When a person passes through the door of opportunity marked “Whosoever will may come” and looks back from the other side, he sees “Chosen in Him” written above the door, showing that God chose him before the world was ever created.

Les explains this with the illustration of a river of humanity flowing since Adam, with doors of opportunity along its banks. The front of the door says, “Whosoever will may come.” When the whosoever goes through that door and reaches the other side, he looks back and sees on the top of the door, “Chosen in Him”—chosen before the world was ever created. Les says he cannot explain how the whosoever invitation and the chosen-before-the-foundation-of-the-world truth fit together. He lets both stand in Scripture by faith. We must decide for ourselves, and yet the moment we decide, God says, “I chose you.”
