But where does that originate. Isn't it a mystery that some people know about hell and they fully understand the consequences of refusing and yet do.
Do you ever stand in a room and wonder how these people can so ignore the God of the universe?What is the difference between someone that throws themselves at the foot of the cross and those that refuse?
The difference? The willingness to exercise one's free will and agency by throwing oneself at the foot of the cross.
If the only difference between the two is that God has chosen one to throw himself at the foot of the cross and not the other, then there is no merit in doing so, because God makes the choice and not the man. If this were not so, then the man who chooses to not do so would be blameless, because it's not his choice.
