Justin Peters on Election & predestination
Unconditional — grounded in God's free choice
if you were to ask me if I believe in the Doctrines of Grace or election, I would confidently reply "Yes" because it is clearly and unmistakably taught in Scripture.
THE POSITION
God chooses to redeem some of mankind for Himself and as a gift to the Son, and that sovereign choice does not cancel human accountability. He argues the doctrine is commonly misread as God keeping people out of heaven, and reframes it: all are willingly running to hell and God mercifully plucks some from a justly deserved end. What makes the choice unconditional rather than conditional is not that definition, which an Arminian could sign, but three things around it — he affirms the Doctrines of Grace by name, he holds that fallen man cannot even seek God, and nowhere does he ground election in foreseen faith.
37 Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never drive away.
