Election

http://www.studylight.org/dic/hbd/view.cgi?number=T1770
This is the link for the whole article,but allow me to quote a few lines here to reflect on.Such a difficult topic,or would have put it with the section on terms defined in doctrine.

Quoted from Holman Bible Dictionary-from above article,Timothy George
"We are not able to understand how everything the bible says about election fits into a neat logical system.Our business is not to pry into the secret counsel of God.."

"The proper response to election is not pride but gratitude for God's amazing grace which saves eternally.Election,then,is[ niether] a steeple from which we look in judgement on others,nor a pillow to sleep on.It is rather a stronghold in time of trial and a confession of praise to God's grace and to His glory."

So everywhere we go, we tell everyone about Christ. We warn them and teach them with all the wisdom God has given us, for we want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ.
I work very hard at this, as I depend on Christ's mighty power that works within me.

Colossians 1;28,29-NLT
