God sovereignly decreed that man should be free to exercise moral choice, and man from the beginning has fulfilled that decree by making his choice between good and evil. When he chooses to do evil, he does not thereby countervail the sovereign will of God but fulfills it, inasmuch as the eternal decree decided not which choice the man should make but that he should be free to make it. If in His absolute freedom God has willed to give man limited freedom, who is there to stay His hand or say, 'What doest thou?' Man’s will is free because God is sovereign. A God less than sovereign could not bestow moral freedom upon His creatures. He would be afraid to do so.

Jesus solved the issue enabling that all can come freely to recieve redemption through believing the Gospel . 2 cor 5.19 . You have no new testament salvation to proclaim because you don't recognise the cross and resurrection. You do not understand what took place . What Jesus has done . This truth has not yet reached you . You seem to still be under the old system.

We may disagree on some things, but we agree on Calvin. Limited atonement is borderline blasphemy, and irresistible grace neglects the evidence of scripture, and rejects just how depraved the human will can be.
I think of the city Nazareth according to Mathew 13, Jesus went there but they rejected him. Clearly Grace was resisted.

We don't ignor the old testament. We learn a lot from it. The old testament teaches us many things about God and Christ and human nature. The law teaches is what is sin, not that we are under a law, but An example I like to use is the OT has a law regarding an ox that gores. By this law we know that in order to love our neighbors we should not allow our animals to cause damage and do harm.
Another would be to stone false prophets, well we no longer stone them to death, but we should account them as dead in trespass against the Lord.
