“”Some he makes for good purposes, others he makes for not so good purposes.””

Do you think you could have been made for not good so good purposes?

***Do you think you could have been made for not good so good purposes?***

I am trying to understand your question. If you are asking if I was made for good or not good purposes, I would have to say that since God has found it in his mercy to extend grace to me, I must have been made for good purposes. Therefore, I must be constantly aware of needs around me and to do the good works God has placed in front of me.

If you are asking if I could have been made for not so good purposes, It might have been, but I would not be aware of it. I would just live my life, unconcerned about God and his will. In the end, God’s will would have seen that I would not be found acceptable to him and I would be sent to the hell that I deserved due to my totally depraved nature.

God could save everyone, however, he chooses to save only some. Why? If I knew, I would be God, which I am not (for sure :>)
