"Nothing that happens can or will
take God by surprise. What this all means is that in the salvation of particular sinners, the
elect ones, there cannot be failure. Their salvation is certain. Thus, salvation is from the
Lord (Jonah 2:9). Christians are not saved by anything they have done. They are not
ultimately saved because they made a choice; but, because God chose them. In other
words, according to His great love and mercy He saved us. What a blessed gospel! God
reaches out and saves those who cannot save themselves.
