God's s sovereign choice is our free will choice.
We see that from Adam and Eve's choice in Eden. We see that the Jews continuous choice to serve God then to abandon God and repeat. And that's true in your life and my life as well.
The Word says that His ways are higher than our ways. It states God is the Alpha and the Omega. He knows the beginning from the end. He is omniscient.
In the book of Exodus, Scripture records 17 Times where Pharaoh's heart was hardened, about half those times he did it to himself. You might say God gave him a double dose of his own medicine.
We read and analyze that God is certainly 100% sovereign and in that sovereignty, in that Godfidence, He must have saw merit in giving us our own free will without jeopardizing His sovereignty. Only God can make that happen.
As Jesus was 100% God and 100% man that characteristic also exist in our salvation in a different kind of way. There are no guests coming to the party without an invitation nor are there any party guest who come on their own accord. And of course there's no party at all or anything without God.
When we believe in Jesus and receive His Spirit with our confession of faith, our predestination Heaven is sure. God never predestinations people to hell. We did that ourselves.
