Why do some people reject the message of divine election?

Rejection of the doctrine of divine election often stems from a misunderstanding and mistrust of God's character. Some argue that if God elects certain individuals for salvation, it negates human free will and contradicts the notion of God’s love for all humanity. They may argue that it is unreasonable for a loving God to withhold salvation from some. However, this perspective fails to recognize that God's love is not defined by human standards and that His sovereignty encompasses His justice and mercy. The message preached that God loves everyone equally can mislead individuals into thinking that their actions determine their salvation, whereas the biblical view emphasizes that salvation is solely a result of God's sovereign grace.
