So you admit that your value isn’t from anything in you.When God created man, including me, God gives each of us value, gives us a soul and that is why God loves man and has such great interest in man. In the OT, the Gentiles were not God's chosen people, yet God still had love for the Gentiles and had interest in their being saved as seen by His sending Jonah to preach to them.
You do not deal with what the true problem is, and that lingering problem is Calvinism. Calvinism falsely claims Christ atonement was limited to just a few, meaning God sees no value or worth in the rest of men He created in His image with a valuable, precious soul.
Calvinism would have God, before the world began and before any man did anything good or bad (Romans 9:11), already "hating" certain men. They did nothing to deserve God's 'hate'. If before the world began no one had done anything worthy to deserve God's love, no one had done anything worthy to deserve His 'hate'.
