God is love, He acts according to the holiness made known by His justice, satisfaction of Christ, mercy, faithfulness, kindness, and unfailing graciousness. Gods work is praiseworthy, beautiful and glorious because He dwells in unapproachable light that would extinguish us.His condescending love keeps us from seeing what He sees but He shows us enough of Himself so that we experience His love being shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit We experience the beauty of His work in being overwhelmed by His faithfulness.

 In order for Gods love to grip us in our desires we must have a rise in our thoughts to His beauty and majesty. This view causes us to desire God over our own ability to work up happiness in ourselves.

I am a Calvinist because of Gods faithfulness and my unfaithfulness. I believe in total depravity because the bible says that there is no one good no not one, that we are born in Adam being spiritual dead and unable to seek after God. We were a dead man made alive.Christ come and lived a righteous life He died for the elect and is sitting at the right hand of the Father as our High Priest, Since He obtained salvation He intercedes for us so that we will be saved to the end His purpose of saving the elect by dying on the cross cannot fail If God saves us then God must keep us saved. It doesnt depend upon our faith , but upon God regenerating us. When we get the new life then all things become new. He determined before the foundation of the world to save some people out of the rest Thats why we believe in unconditional election, because we are not able to choose God, but He chooses us. While we were in sin Christ died for us, that is He obtained salvation at the cross , so that when He completes the transaction in time, it is His salvation alone
We were saved by irresistible grace, that was extended to us when we were enemies with God . God allowed us to go our own way and if He had not determined in eternity past to extend His grace to us then we would have been condemned to hell. But He gave us new life by grace
