Election and Holiness (C.H. Spurgeon) [3of5]

[FutureApostle]

I am not arminian or in anyway in calvinism but the way I understand election is like this: God elected some men "to hear the word" or to "hear the gospel" or to "hear about the God of israel" but he lets them through his sovereignty choose even if they were elected to hear the gospel from the foundation of the world. They are elected to "HEAR THE GOSPEL" but then they have the choice to "OBEY" the gospel and Jesus Christ by living in the Spirit.
