Coffee with John Calvin

Why Try to Be Saved if Election is True? | Reddit User Question on r/Calvinism | ep. 14


Listen Later

In this episode, I answer the following Reddit question from a Biblical perspective on Election:

"Hello, I was introduced to Calvinism a few years ago. Right now, I'm currently unsaved whereas wrath is my final destination. My question is: if salvation is based on who is the elect, is there really any reason to worry since it is all in the hands of God? I mean because no matter what you do, it has nothing to do with what you do therefore your fate is not in your hands. I ask because though I am struggling to get saved, if I'm not the elect then I'm going to hell regardless therefore why continue trying to get saved? God has picked his chosen people whom he will save and who he will not. Is it not up to us. Someone clarify please. Still learning."

Discussed are the differences in primary and secondary causes, the Gospel, and the beauty of election.
