“For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction.”
1 Thessalonians 1 v 4 -5 The doctrine of Unconditional Election can be arrived at logically from the truth of Total Depravity. As we know that man is spiritual dead and cannot come to God, seek God, desire God or love God in any way, shape or form and we also know that Christians exist then God must work in some people through the Holy Spirit to bring them to him. Christians are only Christians because of God’s doing. Yet there are people who do not come to Christ therefore God must not work in them. For any work God chooses to do he will see to completion. Therefore there must be an elect, that is, a group of people God has chosen to bring to him. And there must be an unelected: a group of people God passes by.
