What does God say things were like TT, what you were like before you He saved you.
For starters:
"Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me." (Psa 51:5)
"For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;" (Isa 64:6)
"there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins" (Ecc 7:20) for in fact
"The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately sick; Who can understand it?" (Jer 17:9)
So where did that leave you:
"you were dead in your trespasses and sins" (Eph 2:1)
"those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh" (Rom 8:5)
"the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God" (Rom 8:7)
"those who are in the flesh cannot please God" (Rom 8:8)
And what were you like:
"the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these" (Gal 5:19)
So what's the solution:
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh ... 'You must be born again.'" (John 3:6-7)
The trouble is:
"a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God" (1Cor 2:14)
So what did that cold, hard robotic sovereign God do for you:
"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom 5:8)
"In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will" (Eph 1:5)
Yep TT, because of what you've done you deserved nothing less than to suffer in the deepest part of hell for all eternity. Yet in spite of that God choose to love you; God choose to send His son to the cross to pay for your sin; God lovingly drew you to Jesus; in His mercy, because you were trapped in sin and could do nothing for yourself, God gave you the faith to believe, and when you did HE SAVED YOU. In love He did this for you according to the kind intentions of His will.
But thanks for proving my point.
