Did God choose you because He knew you were going to choose Him or did God choose you and thats why you choose Him?

Ref,Reformationist said:If all He did was "give you the capacity to choose Him" then I guess it's not for "His glory alone." You get at least a little of the glory because you made the right decision.
God bless
Good Day, AVAVBunyan said:Until someone can show me how a dead man can choose God then I might give it some thought at least
Good day BBAS 64 - I mean dead spiritually according to Eph. 2:1 and blind according to II Cor. 4:3,4 and dead according to our Lord - Mat 8:22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.BBAS 64 said:Good Day, AV
That all depends on how you define "dead" and the application of your deff. BBAS
Same to you AV, see you are an Independant Baptist, and a Calvinist thought I might be the only one.AVBunyan said:Choose

Can't get much "deader".
Have a nice day

Thanks, Blackhawk - I needed that - May God blessBlackhawk said:God wooed me and drug me into heaven with his love. He set me up in a family and a situation in which it was natural to choose him. And he came to me and made sure that I would choose him by displaying himself. He was so irresistable I had to choose him. His love was so natural and awesome that I really had and still have no otehr choice but to love and serve my Master all the days of my life. So I chose Him because he is so wonderful that words cannot express. And simply he did not let me choose any other way. I really do not why he chose a broken vessel like me but he did. Everything to his glory alone. Peace out!
I agree, but any glory we take, takes away from God. And will cause others to reject Christ based on our display of self-rightousness. I think, we can't imagine how awesome Christ will be and how humble we will be when we see him.Reformationist said:If all He did was "give you the capacity to choose Him" then I guess it's not for "His glory alone."

Believing in Christ and living the Christian life is self-serving b/c of the blessings it brings.
