Am I Elect?
CONGRATULATIONS!
Your introspection is proof of... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
According to strict TULIP, God's decree is completely secret, unchangeable, and was locked in before the foundation of the world. Your thoughts, doubts, answers, and even this interactive button click are ultimately irrelevant to changing it.
Bummer, huh?
BUT WAIT...
You could just bypass the existential dread and read 1 John 2:2:
"He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only — but also for the sins of the whole world."The gift is genuine. For everyone. Stop stressing and trust Him.
DANGER ALERT!
According to hyper-systematic anxiety, struggling with sin or lacking total assurance might just be the terrifying proof of your non-election!
But notice how this system forces you to look inward at your own performance rather than outward at the Cross?
THERE IS A BETTER WAY:
Breathe easy and check out 2 Peter 3:9:
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."Salvation rests on His choice to love the world, not your ability to pass a psychological optimization test.
