Just curious.
In reading [i:7f1a58f7b3]Chosen by God[/i:7f1a58f7b3] Sproul kind of avoids the whole "Well, if God chose me, then why? If it's not something that is part of me, my character, doesn't that make him choose us at random?"
I'm reading [i:7f1a58f7b3]Putting Amazing Back Into Grace[/i:7f1a58f7b3] and Horton doesn't terribly answer it, but I just put the book down to post this...
I'm sure this is a very easy question for you guys, but if God does not choose us at random, nor does he choose us on our merits, when and under what circumstances does he choose us?
Would an appropriate analogy relate it to some kind of production, with God as the screenwriter, director, producer, etc. and he creates our characters to fill what he wants the play to be like?
