My commitment to Calvinism is based on the unwavering faithfulness of God, despite my own shortcomings. The doctrine of total depravity is grounded in biblical teachings that acknowledge the innate inadequacy of human goodness. From birth, we are spiritually lifeless and incapable of pursuing God. Essentially, we are resurrected from spiritual death, which explains the essential role of unconditional election in Calvinism. The belief is that we lack the ability to choose God independently, and it is God who selects us.The atonement of saints was achieved through Christ's altruistic sacrifice on the cross, despite our inherent inclination towards sin. Therefore, our liberation is entirely contingent on His actions rather than our own endeavors. Consequently, we cannot acquire or sustain salvation without divine deliverance, as it relies on God's transformative influence rather than our own belief. After undergoing this rebirth, our entire being is altered. Since we did not contribute to our salvation, the entirety of the accountability rests entirely on Christ.It was predetermined by Him prior to the establishment of the world to rescue a subset of saints from the remainder, and He intended to eventually rescue these chosen ones. The objective of His salvation plan was achieved through the incarnation and virtuous existence of Christ, who perished for the sake of the elect and now serves as our High Priest at the right hand of the Father, continuously advocating for us to bring about the culmination of our salvation. The purpose of the cross in saving the elect is infallible.According to Christian theology, God granted humans the ability to make their own choices. However, without God's pre-determined decision to offer us salvation through grace, we would have faced eternal torment in hell. Through His grace, we are granted new life, bestowed upon us at a time predetermined by God in eternity past.If the proposition that the bestowed grace is impervious to obstruction is valid, then the ultimate objective of our sanctification will be entirely fulfilled. Consequently, our endurance will endure until the culmination of our being as our salvation is entirely ascribed to grace and sustained by it. Therefore, any hesitations or doubts should be eradicated.
