 C.D. COLE- THE DOCTRINE OF ELECTION
Election means that the destiny of men is in the hands of God.
The view that election pertains only to the Jews--This view robs Gentiles of the comfort of #Ro 8:28-29 Moreover, Paul, who was an apostle to the Gentiles, says that he endured all things for the elect's sakes that they might obtain salvation.
Before studying Election, I always thought that if anyone were even remotely interested in being saved, then, in response to prayer by interested relatives or friends, the Holy Spirit would operate on that person's heart and bring him under conviction to the place where he would decide for or against Christ.

 Election
To represent election by saying that God has spread the Gospel feast, and a man comes to the table hungering for the bread of life; but God says "No, this is not for you, you are not one of my elect", is to misrepresent the Holy Doctrine.
Election is the cause of repentance and faith and not the effect of these graces.
Election does not mean that the elect will be saved whether they believe on not, nor does it mean that the non-elect will be damned regardless of how much they may repent and believe.
