God doesnt pick and choose who is saved
Scripture does not depict a God in Heaven wringing His hands, hoping you will choose Him. Not hardly.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of The Lord shall be saved. Romans 10:13
The question, then, is "who calls on the name of the Lord?" Acts 13:48 tells us quite directly: "As many as were ordained unto eternal life, believed." Only those ordained unto eternal life believe.

You misinterpreted Acts 13:48. Christians, once saved, are ordained to good works and to witness and to eternal life.
God knows who will be saved, but he does not choose. His eternal purpose is to have a people that are faithful without being chosen. He already has the angels that were created with the full awareness of His existence. If that were all He wanted, there would be no reason for human creation.
