“So he brought the people down to the water. And the Lord said to Gideon, “Everyone who laps from the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set apart by himself; likewise everyone who gets down on his knees to drink.”
And the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men; but all the rest of the people got down on their knees to drink water.
Then the Lord said to Gideon, “By the three hundred men who lapped I will save you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, every man to his place.””
Judges 7:5-7 NKJV
Is this a lesson in, ‘divine election’ and man’s, ‘free will?’ Yes. This is the way that the two work together.
Argue about it if you want to, but in real life, it works!
It works because it is God’s way…
Each one of the ten thousand men in Gideon’s army exercised his free will. God did not interfere with their choice at all.
“All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.”
John 6:37 NKJV
You cannot argue election! You just can’t…
Good news- you can come to God if you want to…your the elect…
The bad news- if you don’t want to come to God- you are not elected…
