I like all the love from God to us all
New International Version
Micah 6:7-8
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
with ten thousand rivers of olive oil?
Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
8 He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly[a] with your God.

I don't want this to sound offish or offensive because it's just using what I have learned from reading the Bible and it actually is how I view the Reformed doctrine processes.
First and foremost I am greatful to God for everything He has done for me personally and I have no complaints for anything even the trials I must suffer through to learn the lesson God knows I am ready for.
But a lot of what we discover concerning Yeshua and His fulfillment and God's Grace and Mercy was foretold by the Prophets and many others.
But what we're experiencing was promises God made to fellow Brothers and Sisters in the Faith.
So ultimately speaking here, God must keep His word because He cannot lie.
So more than anything else, I am most thankful that God cannot lie and had to keep His promises!
I thank God for being a Being of His Word!

What you say is true.
Of course one doesn't negate the other.
The same salvation was available
to Adam an Eve's children, way back then.
He doesn't keep His promise in regards to everlasting life based upon the covenant of law, but upon His Word when the lost call upon Him in faith. Jesus fulfilled everything necessary, while people individually fail by even their own standards, like trying to live in obedience to the law. Today we call that "repenting of sins, and so do the Mormons I've learned recently.
26And to Seth, to him also there was born a son; and he called his name Enos: then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.
Genesis 4
13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?
Romans 10

Yes, those are good, but IMO Eph. 2:8-9 should always include v. 10, which teaches that only works motivated by faith in God
are good/godly and faith not followed by good works is fake (Jam. 2:17-22). Works not manifesting God's Spirit (Gal. 5:22-23) merely masquerade as Light and are NOT good (2Cor. 11:13-14) and faith without love/GOOD works cheapens grace and is also false.
(Both-and, but faith first :^)
