Christians technically speaking, isnt the bottom line that God chooses and hand-picks who is saved?

the choosing of God is based on foreknowledge and never apart from it. If you were outside of time you would not bet on losers. The free will of man and consequences for valid choices is just. Gods knowing our free choice before we even made it does not invalidate our choice. God so loved the world he gave his only son so that whoever so will ...come to him may inherit eternal life. This is a mystery of how it works since we are very limited in our ability to comprehend Gods divine nature. But these essential that seem contradictory are realities clearly taught in scripture. Joshua said choose this day whom you will serve as for me and my house we will serve the Lord...how do you know if you are chosen ..choose to make this choice. What if you do not want to...then you must not have been chosen...well that is not fair...then choose to serve the Lord... our life experience says we have choices; prophecy shows God knows the end from the beggining.
