Who Chose Who? Part 2.0

Continuing the previous thoughts... It's just everywhere in the Bible. Man is too sinful to ever choose God of his own will. I'm just going to say it, it's arrogant to think that apart from the regenerating work of God's grace you would ever choose God. I mean you can't get any clearer than Romans 3:11 "...no one seeks for God." To say the opposite is to elevate man and contradict the Word.
So what hope do we have?

Paul is very clear as to why a person would ever choose God. How can a person willfully seek God? What makes a person long for salvation?

Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Philippians 2:12-13

Paul instructs the Philippians to work out their own salvation. In other words, "Do some heart searching. Examine yourselves to see if you are truly saved. Seek after the Lord Jesus and His salvation." Paul then says God is working inside your hearts to will and to work. God is the source of your desire to seek Christ. God is the one who gives you the will and strength to obey Him. All of their "choosing God" is credited to God. Paul didn't say, "God has done all He can do, now it's up to you." Paul knew that as the Philippians worked out their salvation, God was the one working behind the scenes giving them the will to work. The same is true for anyone who has believed upon Jesus Christ.

Our repentance is a gift given to us by God.

And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
2 Timothy 2:24-26

If you have repented of sin it is because God has granted that repentance to you.

Our faith is a gift given to us by God.

For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake, Philippians 1:29

For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. Romans 12:3

I say with Paul "So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy." Romans 9:16
