Understanding God’s election

[GWH]

We do obey love God with all that we are and love your neighbors as yourself.

...and love our enemies, which means we love everyone by reflecting God's love (Matt. 5:44 & 48, 1Tim. 2:3-4, Rom. 5:5-8, 1 John 4:7-19).

 

[HeIsHere]

I hope that you are not one of those “age of accountability” posters that I have noticed from time to time. I say this because I see nothing in scripture which indicates that age plays any part in salvation. I do, however, see scripture which indicates that we are saved by grace alone.
Grace in scripture is bestowed upon individuals regardless of their actions or worthiness, highlighting God's boundless love and mercy not something earned, that is essential for spiritual growth and salvation.
I believe that anyone regardless of age (1 min – many years) may receive God's grace. However, God owes His grace to nobody!

People on here have told me people are born condemned.
Is this some kind of selective grace then?

Scripture explicitly says people are condemned because they do not believe. Do you think people are born believers???

Does Rom 9 teach that God has mercy and compassion on all human beings w/o exception? Or does Rom 9 teach that God dispenses the graces of mercy and compassion at his own discretion? Or when Jesus said that he gives life to whomover he wishes, is he not saying that the gift of eternal life is his prerogative and given at his discretion?

Not only are sinners not born believers but they're not born with any heart for God. They hate spiritual knowledge, wisdom, understanding, God the Father and the Son of God.
