If God determines that someone deserves salvation, who are we to question? At the final judgment, will we dare to say that He was mistaken? That no one there deserved it? God has already taken Enoch, Moses, and Elijah to heaven because He thought they deserved it, did He make a mistake? The doctrine of “unmerited favor” has no support in the Old Testament, and even less in the Gospels. Jesus never taught such a thing. What Jesus made clear is that the Father sends us to the Son, and the Father only sends those who follow the laws that He gave to the nation chosen with an everlasting covenant. God observes our obedience, and, seeing our faithfulness, He unites us to Israel and delivers us to the Son. | “You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently.” (Psalm 119:4)
