I am the master of my own fate," is a line from the famous poem, Invictus.
Yet according to the scriptures, God is the master of the fates of all.
God is the creator and master of our existence and He is the master of our fate.
All came out of Him and all return to Him. Romans 11.
Man's will cannot prevent this from happening.
No one's "free will" can trump the Creator's will for His own creation.
Here are two important questions as far as the salvation of all..
Does God want all?
If He wants all, is He able to get all?
The answer to both questions are yes, according to the scriptures.
1 Timothy 2
I exhort, then, first of all, there be made supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, for all men:
2 for kings, and all who are in authority, that a quiet and peaceable life we may lead in all piety and gravity,
3 for this [is] right and acceptable before God our Saviour,
4 who doth will all men to be saved, and to come to the full knowledge of the truth;
5 for one [is] God, one also [is] mediator of God and of men, the man Christ Jesus,
6 who did give himself a ransom for all -- the testimony in its own times -- Young's Literal
Isaiah 46
8“Remember this, and be assured;
Recall it to [j]mind, you wrongdoers.
9 Remember the former things long past,
For I am God, and there is no other;
I am God, and there is no one like Me,
10 Declaring the end from the beginning,
And from ancient times things which have not been done,
Saying, ‘My plan will be established,
And I will accomplish all My good pleasure’;
11 Calling a bird of prey from the east,
The man of [k]My purpose from a distant country.
Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. NASB
Matthew 19:26
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
Philippians 3:21
21 who will transform the body of our lowly condition into conformity with [a]His glorious body, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.
In the love of Christ. God bless.
