john 3:16 for God so loved the world, that He gave his special one of kind Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

nessecary for salvation

acts 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas grew bold, and said, It is neccessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judgeyourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

Man is held responsiblity for rejection....

2 cor 4:3 Since our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this age hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them

6 For God commanded the light to shine out of darkness hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ

this show that the god of the age[satan] distorts man thinking when the gospel is given... vs 6 shows that God must command satan out of the way
thus when learn about the the H.S. this is His work in our salvation

who decides who the Holy Spirit light up....?

eph 1:4 ..God Father.. chosen us before the world began

how did he mark us...?

first in the Book of life psalms 139:16
second... spiritual seed in each ones spirit to sprout when one hears the gospel... 1 john 3:9

to argue with this is to accuse God of lieing, being unrighteous, not being justice, which are all against the character of God

all men reject salvation on their own free will....

yet God being righteous chooses some to salvation...

For by the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 cor 1:18

For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
1 cor 1:21

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
romans 1:16

thus concludes proverbs 16:9 in peace ...remember God is in more control than we know
