The Good Pleasures of His Will

The Free Gift of Salvation

A train can be scheduled to go to a certain destination. You have a choice to get on it if you want. If you don't want to go to where the train is going, chances are you will not get on the train.  

Regardless of where your were born, or who your natural parents are, you have been adopted into the family of God, and God is your Heavenly Father, which gives you special privileges.  

Ephesians 1:5 Having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will.
