18“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
I have heard Maccarthur speak on free will vs predestination and he explained it as a mystery that we can’t reconcile though they both are true. I see predestination taught in scripture but also the truth of making a choice. Phillipians 2:12,13
