In addition to Romans 8,
John 15:19
“If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.
Ephesian 1:4-6
... just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him
He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,
to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.
1 Peter 2:9-10
But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.
2 John 1:1
The elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not only I, but also all who know the truth, ...
Rev 13:8
All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain.
All passage from NASB
And again, He chose to save those He knew would accept His gift of eternal life that He offered mankind.
He didn’t choose them to believe to be saved.
He chose them to be saved who He knew would believe.
I don’t see any contradiction with the rest of Scripture as I do with the doctrine that God chooses to save some and chooses to send others to hell, He making the choice Himself for us.
