Question
Why does God elect some to salvation and not elect others?
Answer
1. It was all a part of His will and plan:
"In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan
of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his
will." [Ephesians 1:11]
2. It brought Him pleasure to do it this way:
"He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in
accordance with his pleasure and will" [Ephesians 1:5]
Every man and woman ever created or that will be created rejects Christ and are
condemned to eternal torment, but God in His mercy chose "some" of the condemned
sinners. It was His freewill choice. God could have chosen none and it would
have been fair, but He was gracious and chose "some."
