Election

"One says, “I am afraid I am not elect. Oh! dear souls, do not trouble yourselves about that. If you believe in Christ you are elect. Whoever puts himself on the mercy of Jesus is elect; for he would never do it if he had not been elect. Whoever comes to Christ, and looks for mercy through his blood, is elect, and he shall see that he is elect afterwards; but do not expect to read election till you have read repentance." -Charles Spurgeon

Who would argue against election? It could be the Christian not familiar with the term and concept. To you I say study the word. Election is all throughout the Bible in both the Old and New Testaments!

The apostate or reprobate; they must deny election to justify them self. We must be careful here, for there are many wearing Christian garb who argue against election. Why? Beside ignorance, it’s due to pride and ego. These folks believe that heaven is awarded to those most meritorious. To them it’s a matter of doing, a matter of good works and deeds. This would mean that man could create a debt that God owed. This would give man charge and control of God. This is impossible. Man can not make God do or to cause our Lord to owe or to put Him in debt.
