God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Grace ceases to be grace if God is compelled to bestow it in the presence of human merit…. Furthermore, grace ceases to be grace if God is compelled to withdraw it in the presence of human demerit. Indeed, grace is seen to be infinitely glorious only when it operates, as Packer says, “in defiance of” human demerit. Therefore, grace is not treating a person less than, as, or greater than he deserves. It is treating a person without the slightest reference to desert whatsoever, but solely according to the infinite goodness and sovereign purpose of God.
Moreover, the topic of election is nearly always introduced for a practical purpose, in order to foster assurance (not presumption), holiness (not moral apathy). humility (not pride) and witness (not lazy selfishness)... Similarly in 1 Thessalonians 1:4 Paul unites the love of God and the election of God. That is, He chose us because He loves us, and He love us because He loves us. He does not love us because we are lovable, but only because He is love. And with that mystery we must be content.

Preheat oven to 350. Slice peeled apples into a shallow 8 inch baking
dish. Sprinkle with the 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon combined. Place in hot
oven. Meanwhile beat egg, add sugar, then vanilla. Stir in Bisquick, then
melted marg and coconut. Spread over hot apples and bake 25-30 minutes
until apples are tender and topping is nicely browned. I double this
recipe. It's also good with fresh peaches.
