Election vs. Partiality
Election vs. Partiality avatar

How does the doctrine of election differ from mere partiality? D.A. Carson offers this succinct explanation:

Never confuse election with partiality. Partiality is favoritism that is corrupted by a willingness to pervert justice for the sake of the favored few; election chooses certain people out of God’s free decision and nothing else, and even then justice is not perverted: hence the cross.
