The Gospel presupposes election

The Bible connects election with the Gospel. You cannot have a gospel message without election. Christ died for the elect alone, He lays down his life for the sheep alone, His church. He prays for her in John 17. In Matthew we see how election is connected to the gospel message of Christ. Matthew 3:12, speaks of the wheat and the tares. Matthew 11:25, says no one knows the son but those whom God chooses. Matthew 13:12, says Jesus speaks in parables so that His people will believe. He says it was given to His people to know the mystery of the Kingdom. In v. 38, it is spoken of the good seed which is the children of the kingdom. The tares as in Matthew 3:12 are the children of the wicked one. In Matthew 13:47, It is said that the gospel saves only few people, it is not meant to save every single human being who has or will ever live.
