I believe that God saw me, a sinner, from before the foundations of the world, and absolutely knew that I would have no power of my own to choose him because of my sin nature that would send me straight to hell anyway, save for his loving grace. Therefore, when the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to the truth of Jesus Christ, there was no need for any authorization to do so, I was just on my knees in thanks and adoration. I don't dare tell the Lord what he can and can't do. God the Father has decreed my obedience, not on the condition that I accept, but through his foreknowledge and predestination of my soul. Thanks be to God, but will I go to hell for tossing acceptance out the window and instead giving God the prerogative of the "rescue" that is my salvation?
