Yes it does. When we choose to Give our life to God...He Converts is.
The Election is Ours to make.
1 Thes 1:
[
4] Knowing, brethren beloved,
your election of God.
Nowhere. Even when God told Israel why He chose them in Deuteronomy 7:7-8, it was not based on anything within them. Same with us. There was nothing in the elect that was missing in the non-elect.
.
God is the CREATER ...and Maker.
Gods Offered knowledge about him to all men...as SOME agreed to do as He said, God began Dividing men...and MAKING changes In the men divided into Himself.
Ex 19:
[
8] And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken
we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.
Men were divided; Hebrews from Gentiles; Hebrews and Gentiles from Tribes, Tribe and Tribe divide...and within the Tribes.
Ex 8:23
2 Cor 35:5
Neh 11:36
**and became More divided after Jesus began preaching.
Luke 12:51
U
Tribe of Judah amongst themselves, Tribe of Judah and Benjamin's adjoining, Tribe of Judah and Gentiles joining and some Dividing..and Again for centuries Divided and today some adjoining IN Christ.
Jesus Gave His FLESH Body for the Life of the world...that is His Offering to every man.
John 6:
[
51] I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give
for the life of the world.
God calls Many, few Respond, and thus Few become His chosen.
It is God Loved us First, makes us an Offer...and Our response to ELECT/choose Him...renders His Response to choose us.
And with the Fact in mind...He already knows who will choose Him.
Glory to God,
Taken
