macarthur on election

"Election is the act of God whereby in eternity past He chose those who will be saved. Election is unconditional, because it does not depend on anything outside of God, such as good works or foreseen faith (Romans 9:16)." - John MacArthur from Pulpit Magazine

MacArthur writes a short but beautiful summary affirming the doctrine of election.

When the Bible speaks of God’s foreknowledge, it refers to God’s establishment of a love relationship with that person.
