Jael we all MUST repent and believe..but the non elect do not want to do it..

Actually, according to Paul and Isiah, no one wants to do it. No not one.

Isaiah 53:6  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Romans 3:9  What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

10  As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:[heis= 1. ONE]

11  There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

12  They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Bingo..NONE of us want to repent in the natural fallen state..it is not until God re engineers ouir heart that we desire him..a VERY calvinist thought BTW...God acts , send His grace..we are given a new heart..we are ineffect Born again..only THIS Time we desire God..The goodness of God leads us to repentance..we confess and believe..now God does all of this through His word..
