Summary

This quote reflects a belief in the theological concept of predestination, suggesting that before the creation of the world, God predetermined the fate of all individuals. The explanation highlights that God chose certain individuals to be saved and receive eternal salvation, not based on their own merits but as a reflection of His mercy and justice. Conversely, another portion was destined for eternal damnation as punishment for their sins. This perspective emphasizes God's control over human destiny and the purpose of displaying His attributes through the contrasting outcomes of salvation and damnation.
