The justice of God demands the enforcement of God's law. All have sinned and therefore all deserve death and hell. However, in a show of love, God has sent His grace into the hearts of many showing the bestowal of His grace upon the undeserving.
Justice said: "I demand an impartial enforcement of the law.
Love said: "My elect must live."
The Second Person of the Trinity the Lord Jesus Christ said, "Father, I will interpose for Your elect; I will pay their sin debt. Our Lord Jesus Christ was successful in His mission: He was born a baby, grew to be a man, was crucified, died, buried, rose from the dead, ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father. That is love! The Lord Jesus Christ sent the Holy Spirit to call out His chosen ones and to reveal to their hearts that they were corrupt, lost and headed to hell. The Spirit showed them their lost condition and the truth about their heart. He awakened them and brought them to Christ to see His sacrifice and the narrow way. The lost soul sees Christ as his substitute and his only hope. He clings to the Savior and becomes a new creation in Christ.
That is God's Sovereign love for the lost. He would not leave His children to face judgment, but in love, chose them for salvation. You know you are among those chosen if you want Christ. How can I say that? Because the Scriptures tell us, He will never turn anyone away that comes to Him. That is how you know you are among the elect, because you want to be!
The life lesson is: God’s Sovereign love for you will not change.
