God chooses us, not because he forsees that we would choose him or that we would believe, but for the very opposite reason - Horatius Bonar.

God chooses us, not because he foresees that we would choose him or that we would believe, but for the very opposite reason.He chooses us just because he foresees that we would neither choose him nor believe of ourselves after all.Election proceeds not upon foreseen faith in us, but unforeseen unbelief.

Horatius Bonar.
