That's neither here nor there, as we are not talking about ppl's worthiness. But I agree, none are worthy.
Because He loves them. He told Israel "The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples. But it was because the Lord loved you and kept the oath he swore to your ancestors that he brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the land of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt."[Deuteronomy 7:7,8] Its right there for you to read. Now, the 'Golden Chain of Redemption' follows along those same lines, as those God foreknew(pre-arrangement), He loved them(us) from before the creation of the world and chose them in Christ. For those God foreknew(pre-arranged) He predestined to be conformed to the inage of the Christ. Those He predestined, He called. Those He called, He justified. Those He justified, He glorified. Now, if everybody w/o exception was involved in this 'Golden Chain of Redemption' than all will be saved, and hello universalism. Because all these He foreknew, predestined, called, justified, He also glorified, which refers to the new body that is like Jesus' most glorious body.
Zactly.
It does when you avow that which the bible avows.
All those who are saved were unworthy. That's not the point, that's neither here nor there. All those God invites will come. All that my Father gives Me comes to me, and those who come to Me, I will never cast aside. If all w/o exception are involved in this, then hello universalism.
Nope, not even close. We were children of wrath, even as others.[Eph. 2:2]
Red herring.
Bingo!! Yet, He chose a multitude to save through the efficacious works of the Christ.
God didn't even need to choose a few, but He did. That shows how merciful He and gracious He is.
Bingo!
Ah yes, man must do his part. The dead can not hear, see, move, exercise their will, and yet they need to exercise their faith?
Again, He will save His ppl from their sins. He does not try to save all, but He saves all He wills to save, not one more, not one less.
But the world does not mean 'everybody whoever lived.'
