Not adhering to your post as elected or not elected
just seeing this. After a long walk off a short pier daily. I finally came the end of my own flesh energy, seeing I can’t do it perfect ever.
that is when I saw to exchange me, the self for the risen life of Son to lead. Trusted, trusting Father to now lead in his Holy Spirit for me. The same as Jesus did it perfectly, already.
therefore, it is not “i” that lives “I” am dead. God lives for me. Now, I can and do rest in that. Seeing no need to argue or fight with anyone .
daily seeing and learning, willingly does that for me at least it is freedom thanks in love to everyone , yes even those that do not believe
it is that love of God that overcame death
and there is no Law against God’s love of 1 Cor 13:4-7
therefore be free in love to all

We have a LOT to do with our election. Because we have to have doctrine metabolized and applied before we are elected to serve for Him. Study, study and study His word and APPLY it.
God does not elect 2 year olds for service, like the dems do.

We put on the righteousness of Christ. “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.” You were dead in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience. The Son gives life to whom He is pleased to give it. If Christ is in you, your spirit is alive because of righteousness.
Our spirit is alive because of righteousness. That should settle the issue right there, but of course it does not. A plethora
of verses are routinely ignored and outright denied in order to make the natural man the arbiter of his own salvation.
The natural man does not make a moral decision to believe what is foolishness to him in his hostile-to-God mind.
Darkness (the natural man himself) does not comprehend the Light. The stony ground of the heart is incapable
of bringing forth the good fruit of faith. We are made alive in Christ and our hearts are circumcised first.
from 1 Timothy 4:8-10 ~ Godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for the present life and for the one to come. To this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, Who is the Savior of everyone, and especially of those who believe.

Thank you for demonstrating you do not understand the election apparently you don't understand the King's Men and the first fruits somehow you think that applies to you
I would agree based on these replies the people are making up their own definition of the election it is clearly written they are the first to trust Christ Eph 1:12 and they are predestined to carry out his will. the king has his men and they are the few we are to put on as the election as written in the original post

Okay (I just got to EPH in my study of the TOP :^)
Paul opened the epistle to the saints in Ephesus with his typical greeting before writing a long sentence teaching about salvation in terms of election and predestination.
TOP #142: Because of His love God chose believers in Christ from before the creation to be adopted as His children through faith in Jesus Christ, in whom believers have redemption or forgiveness of sins because of his death. [EPH 1:3-8] This plan of salvation (POS) is called being “chosen” or “predestined” (v.4-5&11). It sounds as though the entire universe was created solely in order to carry out God’s POS. This mention of predestination to holiness is a significant restatement of TOP #41.
TOP #143: “In him/Christ” refers to those who elect to become elect or chosen by understanding and believing/hoping in Jesus for salvation. [EPH 1:4-15] IOW, election involves cooperation between the will of God and the volition or limited free moral will of human souls. God creates and initiates; humans cooperate—or not.
