You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?" But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?" Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? (Romans 9:19-21 New Kings James Version).
We all come from the same condemned lump! God can regenerate some clay, and pass over the others (reprobates). We cannot save ourselves or chose God because without God's Saving Grace...we are spiritually dead as the Scripture says.
There was no incorruptible part of us that could choose God. But He chose us. Therefore, it depends not on him who runs or does good works, but on God's free mercy. I do not own the rights to this song.
