"But the Lords appointments, to those who fear him, are not only sovereign, but wise and gracious."

My biggest argument against those who contend that "irresistable grace" must mean that God drags us kicking a screaming to Himself is this; "the Lord's appointments are wise and gracious". John Newton understood this.

God knows what makes us "tick", He draws us to Himself by His love and grace. "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound..."
