Hi eternal,
I am glad Jesus died for the world aswell.. amen to that. But I don't think that he chose to save you based on your work of trust..

He did not. Trust is not a work. Work is something you can boast of. I can not boast of standing still and trusting on someone else do the work. In fact, it is against human nature to do this. So someone who does this would be (and is) considered a wimp. He certainly would not boast of it. And on the chance someone does do this, Their boasting is in the one who did the work. not in themselves.
that means his perfect work on the cross was not effective because it depended on you and your sin ridden nature that you where enslaved to...
and not willing to choose until your blindness was lifted.
lol. If this is the case. then every man woman and child who was not chosen would have an excuse. Because their blindness was not lifted. Thus if God sent them to hell. he would be deemed an unrighteous judge.
I'm still wandering what your will is free from.. every one says free will.. but what is it fee from? what makes it 'free' is your will free from yourself your nature?
The sad fact is there is no man morally able to choose God..
Adam was immoral. He chose to trust God and admit he was in sin Same with all the other great men of God in the OT
man is lost in his slumber of death in sin, that is all men. The good news is that the cross is effectual to those God chose not because they are any better. the fact remains I am amazed God chose to save any for all deserve death its not based on my doing anything lest I boast. However, I can agree with you that I also chose to believe in Faith and repent
Man is unable to do good. But God gave them the ability to admit this sin, To admit they have no hope. and to admit they need someone else to save them (do ALL the work)
this is what Romans 1 says, and this was the purpose of the law. No man who chose to trust God did it because of some magic potion. they did it because the law did what it was intended to do. It led them to Christ. That was Gods plan from the beginning That WHOEVER has faith in him, will never perish, but HAS eternal life.
