human

calvinists and armenians
although i believe both sides to be valid
because they are supported by verses,
i am leaning more towards the calvinist view
that we, as humans, are completely helpless
and that we may only receive salvation
by His grace- meaning we are chosen.
however, this does not mean we are special
this does not mean that God loves us more.
as to why i or any other Christian has been
elected, i still do not have an answer.
but i do know now that even though it is
a harsh truth, (it is still the truth)
every human being deserves hell
and God would be justified in sending us there.
but how glorious and powerful is He
who transcends human understanding and
reaches out His hand in love to
save a wretch like me!
"For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus..." Romans 3:22-24
