At least you figured it out. Nothing but crickets from the individual who asked.
Because you could be the instrument through which God uses to bring people to Salvation.
And because you can't really help it because the Truth just comes bubbling out.... You are what God has made you.
Even if you did have a choice you wouldn't have the skill or the ability to do what only God can do. You can't overpower God by an act of your will and make Him save you.
I am born again and have been set free from the power of sin......Christ rules in my life...having received the Holy Spirit...it is Christ who lives in my heart.
Transforming me day by day to be more like Jesus.renewing my mind.
Sin has no hold over me.

But only for the selected correct, those God has sovereignty selected leaving the others with no "irresistible grace" by which they could become saved.
"Make him save you"
who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1 Timothy 2:4
Now, I've heard it all...Overpower God and make him save you????
Jesus teaches us to ask, search and knock, and the door will be opened. There’s no need attempting to overpower God in an obviously futile manner.
God also chooses us...we were predestined..he knew us before we were born.
Hand picked by God.....what an honour.
You openly sin on this chat site with your passive-aggressive behavior and antagonistic mannerisms. (Red X)
Then honor him by conducting yourself in a more Christlike manner.
I stand by my post.....I have been set free...Romans 8:2.
He has also warned me about false prophets...you will know them by their fruit.....
I will let God be the judge of my honouring him.
Your words are put forth to cause discord...I question who you are in Christ.....I will have no part in that with you.
IF it is by your will that you decided to be saved and LET God save you then effectively your will overpowered Gods Will and made Him save you.
If it was Gods decision for you to be saved then it was Gods Will for you to be saved.
You just have to determine whose will it was that caused you to be saved. Then you will have the correct outlook on theology.
It is not God's will that any should perish but that all would come to repentance.
How simple is that?

See what this dogma does to people... their view of God becomes terribly distorted.
It skews His sovereignty to an ungodly place.
But only for the selected correct, those God has sovereignty selected leaving the others with no "irresistible grace" by which they could become saved.
"Make him save you"
who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
1 Timothy 2:4
And yet what we have seen throughout history is separation between those saved and those not.
God is not strong enough to make His Desires come to pass?
God being Sovereign is not ungodly or distorted.
It is those who continue to worship their own will that have the distorted view that comes from an ungodly place.
Grandpa........for a believer to be saved by God.......is the biggest honour man can receive!.
