SALVATION

If I may steal this quote from Monergism Books:

The doctrine of election does not save anyone, the gospel does. Divine election is a blueprint by the Father to save a particular people for Himself by the redemptive work of Jesus Christ (in time) when applied by the Holy Spirit to the same, through the preaching of the gospel. The gospel seed is cast forth indiscriminately by the church, but natural men will not respond unless the Holy Spirit germinates the seed (so to speak) on those the Father have given the Son from eternity (John 6:63-65, 37, 44; John 17; Eph 1:4,5)
