God chooses

God still does the choosing today. We may chase them, but it isn't until God chooses them that our words are really heard in their heart. It is then that they are ready to let the Truth deep inside. It is then that they are saved, good works or not. Being saved is free and undeserved. None of us met all the requirements of the law before we were saved and we won't do it even now, that we are saved. But He does expect us to turn our works into good works. He does expect us to walk on the right side of the street from now on. ~ DickEvans.org
