Quote by Alistair Begg

“If anyone should ask us, “When anything is according to God’s determined plan and foreknowledge, how can God blame the doer of it?” we may ask the inquirer to say what the difficulty is. The inspired apostle Peter could see none, but when he was most vehement in charging these hearers with guilt, yet at the same time he said it was by God’s determined plan and foreknowledge. Surely Peter would have been a bad pleader to introduce into his argument anything that could be readily construed into an excuse for those he was accusing. But there is no real excuse in it; the free agency of humans is as true as the predestination of God. The two truths stand fast forever. It is the folly of people to imagine that these two disagree. If we do wrong, we are accountable for the wrong. And that there is a providence who ordains everything does not take away from any person the full responsibility for anything he or she does.”
