God Loved...Therefore We Live

In saving the world in Christ, the Father has chosen some, set His Spirit upon them to draw them to Christ and to regenerate their hearts, to enable them to freely, by their own newly-freed wills, to choose Christ. At the same time He has passed others by, permitting them - by their own 'free' will - to reject Christ and perish. This is the reason one person hears and believes in Christ while another hears and rejects Christ.
