What difference does the doctrine of election make to us?

1. It prompts us to worship God. I cannot praise myself in any way for my salvation – I will praise God.
2. It makes us humble. It was not our perceptiveness, intelligence or wisdom that caused us to choose God; he chose us regardless of anything in us. There is nothing in us to be proud about.
3. It makes us hopeful in evangelism. Anyone, even the most unlikely, can be saved by God – so I’ll share the gospel with everyone I can.
4. It makes us confident. God is in charge of everything, and he is committed to us, to bring us to glory.
