according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled in his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
2.    Unconditional election makes God a respecter of persons (1 Peter 1:17). That God simply made a choice to save one individual and not another would make God partial. Not only that, but it would contradict many other scriptures within the word of God, including the following: 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14, Romans 2:9-10, 2 Peter 3:9, 1 Corinthians 10:12, 1 Corinthians 9:27, Philippians 2:12, and 2 Peter 1:10. If God unconditionally elects people to be saved or lost, then there is no way man can change his eternal destination: if we are saved, then we can do nothing to be lost; and if we are lost, we can do nothing to be saved.
