Sabbath: Free Will, Love, and Divine Providence
Daily Lesson for Sabbath 15th of February 2025
Image © Pacific Press
Read for This Week’s Study: Luke 13:34; Jeremiah 32:17-20; Hebrews 1:3; Deuteronomy 6:4-5; Ephesians 1:9-11; John 16:33.
Memory Text:
“ ‘These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world’ ” (John 16:33, NKJV).
Providence is the term used to describe God’s action in the world. How we think about God’s providence makes a huge difference in how we relate to God, how we relate to others, and how we think about the problem of evil.
Christians hold various understandings of divine providence. Some believe that God exercises His power in a way that determines all events to happen just as they do. He even chooses who will be saved and who will be lost! In this view, people are not free to choose other than what God decrees. In fact, people who believe this way argue that even human desires are determined by God.
In contrast, strong biblical evidence shows that God does not determine everything that happens. Instead, He grants humans free will, even to the point where they (and angels) can choose to act directly against His will. The history of the Fall, of sin, and of evil is a dramatic and tragic expression of the results of abusing this free will. The plan of salvation was instituted in order to remedy the tragedy caused by the misuse of free will.

The Joy of Atonement Embracing Good News
The Day of Atonement is a time of joy and good news, not fear. Why? Because Jesus is everything we need in the judgment. He’s our substitute, taking our place. He’s our advocate, an elder brother who has never lost a case. He’s the faithful and true witness, and even the judge Himself. With Jesus in every role—Redeemer, Defender, and Judge—how can we lose? The only way is to say no to Him. This powerful message reminds us of the incredible assurance we have in Christ.
