# B.B. Warfield on Providence and Predestination

“Providence and Predestination are ideas which run into one another. Providence is but Predestination in its execution; Predestination is but Providence in its intention. When we say the one, we say the other, and the common idea which gives its content to both is control.”

— [B.B. Warfield, “Some Thoughts on Predestination” (1916)](/authors/b-b-warfield)
