I think you are working to illustrate my previous post.

Whatever verses you use, however you get there, if you end up with a capricious god, you've made a wrong turn.

God loves you, it is a very hard thing to accept, as Christ knew and taught.

[HarleyD]

God is never capricious. Everything is according to His divine plan. The simple fact that His elect are chosen by God makes His love all the more richer and our devotion to Him all the more deserving.

The wrong turn in all of this is thinking we have the ability to reject what God truly wants.
