The weight of Calvinism does not come from TULIP, the Westminster Confession, or even the book of Romans, all due respect to the Apostle. Paul's epistles instead explain what might be the most powerful part of the Christian drama. Christianity is a story of the objective searching out the subjective. God walks with man in the garden, and seeks him out after the Fall. It was not Adam that sought the Lord, but the Lord that sought Adam. God came to Abraham. God sent his prophets to an unrepentant Israel. Jesus came to earth, and sought out his disciples after his resurrection. And in these days the Spirit comes to believers, further equipping them and renewing their hearts and minds towards Christ.
