-Romans 8:28-30-
The Bible's teaching on God's sovereign grace and choosing a particular people for Himself in Jesus Christ has always been a spot of controversy for humanists and a place of rest and hope for the redeemed. The Bible clearly teaches that the triune God chose to save a particular people for Himself through the redemption of the Messiah Jesus and through the regeneration of the Holy Spirit. God chose to save. God planned to save. God saves for His glory. God saves because of His eternal love and unfathomable grace.
