“God has named us all and freely offers His Grace to us all; we are free as well to accept or reject that Grace.”

This is an example of one putting man’s will above God’s sovereignty. Ephesians 2:

“4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”

Thank you for adding evidence to my posts, sir.

God love us all and has freely given His Grace to all. I agree very much and thank you for opening this thread.
