Sadly, many churches today deny the total grace of God in the salvation of Christians.
Men are dead in their trespasses and slaves to sin.
Without God's total and effectual grace they will remain so. God does NOT elect to save men because he foresees who will believe. Rather, of His own volition God chooses those whom He will mercifully save. Those whom God has chosen to save before the foundation of the world He does save. All those whom God has saved will surely persevere to the end by the power of the Holy Spirit, living a life of evangelical faith and obedience.
