If you imagine saving us is almost impossible. We are beligerent, opinionated, rebellious,
hard hearted, stubborn, and the Lord desires that we learn how to be meek, mild, humble,
caring, loving, self sacrificing, seeing need on our own, being clean, pure, holy, willing to die
for others.
Unless God was very careful with the elect, we would not last. Only with all the effort
He puts in only the elect get saved though all the others could if their hearts had been
willing.
So yes we do choose, but it is like 99% God with our feeble agreement and lack of enthusiasm.
Get real for a minute. How many desire to walk in love and righteousness? Very few.
To even talk about it, still less.
How many want to talk about their hearts and struggles, to discover who they are and what God
has for them? Still less.
Worse still some are so opposed to Gods ways they will persecute you for daring to want to talk
about it, or even believe these things are possible. And these guys know Gods word. That is how
lost people are. And even those who God moves with in power often fail and fall.
Moses struck the rock and got angry, David with Bathsheba, Peter and his denial, it goes on and on.
So God seriously has to know who are worth the effort and desire, because He is committed 100%
for us, but only within the constraints of what is possible. So please give God the praise He is due,
and realise we owe it all to Him and His love and desire to purchase us, His chosen people for
eternity. If He could He would have everyone.
