The Election of Grace

Praise be to His name, God does show mercy to those whom He has chosen to show mercy to. If He does give saving grace, it is all due to His sheer mercy. He does not owe any man their salvation. Salvation is not of works; it is not a debt which God has to pay for each and every person. But salvation from sin and the gift of eternal life are something which He bestows according to His own eternal purposes in Christ. These gifts of grace only come to a sinful person because God has chosen through Christ to redeem them in particular. The doctrines which many people are objecting to in the doctrines of grace are really, Total Depravity and Election, in the first place; and not Particular Redemption.
