Interestingly enough, the reasons for which unbelievers hate this truth concerning God are the very reasons Christians love it. Election tells me salvation is by grace from beginning to end, and that gives me hope. It tells me that my heavenly Father is in control of everything, that I am in His hands, and that is exactly where I want to be. If you want to get a child of God thankful, excited and zealous for the glory of God and good works, tell him about the electing love of God in Christ Jesus. Unbelievers hate it. God's saints love it.
