Rom 10:9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
There it is in a nutshell. You believe or you don't. You're saved or you're not. There's no other option.
Seems simple enough, but what about God calling only those who he knows will answer, and not bothering with the others?
Ok. Scenario.
I am your neighbor, I have cookies for sale.....I know you don’t eat cookies because of your sugar diabetes but knowing you are my neighbor and we are friends and I don’t want to hurt your feelings I ask you anyways knowing well ahead you will not purchase them. In this case I know you won’t buy my cookies....I offer them to you anyways because we are great friends....you still say no. Now what?
Well that depends...are you the one who made me diabetic?
