Based on what little I know, I would choose the former. But God does what He does for His own reasons, in many cases incomprehensible by us now.

It seems to me that when we discuss God's absolute foreknowledge of everything that we often overlook that this life we are now living is the very first time it has ever been lived. While God inhabits past/present/future, I do not. I am not of the future, nor of the past. I am now, and my life is now.

And NOW is the day of salvation.

What this means is that our choices do matter. They will be choices for sin and depravity, yet in the mix will come the Spirit of the Lord, and He will direct His will, even if it involves shaping my will.

Why me?

I don't know. His choice.

Amen brother! I have no idea how or why it happens, I am just thankful THAT it happens. :)
