predestinate

Now this criminal of ours is predestinate to crime also; he, too, have child-brain, and it is of the child to do what he have done.

About a century and half later, even the wise Defoe wrote in his London plague novel that Turks and Mahometans “professed predestinating Notions, and of every Man’s End being predetermined.”

She thanked and complimented him warmly, but without being very much astonished at his success, for she began to think he was predestinated.

It is unreasonable to suppose that because God has predestinated all events, we need not take any step in the matter of our salvation.

We are “predestinated to be conformed to the image of God’s Son.”
