This verse in context is teaching after salvation. When we are saved we become holy and without blame before him in love. It is not a choosing to salvation. It is what we get because of Salvation.This was God's great plan before the foundations of the world. That whosoever believes would become.
Salvation is simple "LOOK AND LIVE" OBEDIENCE.
Christ says Come, Calvin says you can't.
