See? That puts the onus upon each individual...to believe that Jesus is the One who takes our sins upon Himself.
"unless you believe that I am he, YOU...!"
It's not about God choosing who goes to Heaven and who goes to Hell. The responsibility is upon YOU, upon ME, upon EACH individual. It's not predetermined independent of personal will and decision. We are indeed saved by Grace, but that is of HIM.
What a wonderful message that is, and from a merciful and glorious Lord.
