No man can come to God unless God first draws him.

The initiative is always on God’s part.

It’s even God who works in us to will and to do according to HIS good pleasure.

Contrary to what some people present God as being like, He really does WANT to save people.

It is a question I ask myself and others.

If your salvation is you choosing God, they you also have the power to unchose God. Your salvation depends on how you feel that day or what you ate for supper.

Whereas God choose you is a lock. His word is good. You can have assurance of salvation.

But, just because you say God choose you isn’t the whole story either but is a good test. God does test us and we test others.
