Why do some people reject the doctrine of election?
Answered in 1 source
Some reject the doctrine of election because they misunderstand its implications about God's sovereignty and human responsibility.
The rejection of the doctrine of election often stems from a misunderstanding of God's nature and sovereignty. Many struggle with the idea that God unconditionally chooses some for salvation and that this choice highlights divine grace over human merit. This can be seen in John 6, where Jesus' teaching on the necessity of God's drawing encounters skepticism (John 6:44). Such rejection may also reflect a natural human inclination to resist surrendering fully to God’s authority. However, those truly drawn by the Father recognize election as fundamentally a display of God's mercy and a catalyst for genuine worship and satisfaction in Christ.
