"People often argue that this doctrine of
divine election and choice leaves no place for evangelism, for preaching
the gospel, for urging people to repent and to believe, and for the use
of arguments and persuasions in doing so. But there is no contradiction
here any more than there is in saying that since it is God that gives
us the crops of corn in the autumn, therefore the farmer need not plough
and harrow and sow; the answer to which is that God has ordained both.
God has chosen to call out His people by means of evangelism and the
preaching of the Word. He ordains the means as well as the end."
"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near. " Hebrews 10:23-25
