The ability and will and desire to repent, like all good things, comes from God.
"In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth" -- 2 Timothy 2:25
Paul was slaughtering Christians. God threw him to the ground, caused him to tremble and then blinded him.
That is love. That God did not leave Paul in his sins, but grabbed hold of him in his darkness and turned him to the light of Christ.
As with Paul, so it is with all God's children.
Thank God.
And you can still reject it. Else, Jesus should have address his ministry to His Father, not us.
That is love.
The question was not did God love Paul, but did God force Paul to love him.
God threw him to the ground, caused him to tremble and then blinded him.
It took much less to get my attention. But attention is not love.
