[Dr. Eckleburg]

Do men go to hell? Is God powerless to prevent it? Does God know from the beginning who will believe and be saved and who will not?

And yet He makes both kinds of people anyway, knowing exactly where each person ends up.

Scripture tells us mercy triumphs over justice. Do you see that happening for everyone?

Knowing where a particular person will end up is not the same as being the cause of where that person ends up.

Knowing decisions beforehand is not the same as causing those decisions.

Decisions made because He pre-destined those decisions are not really decisions at all. If we don't make any decisions, how can we truly love Him? If we don't truly love Him, how can we go to Heaven to be with Him?

Scripture tells us mercy triumphs over justice. Do you see that happening for everyone?

Is it not mercy to allow one to pass his own sentence? If you accept the mercy, it most definitely triumphs over the justice we deserve.

Acceptance is the part we must play.
