"It is sometimes said that the doctrine of predestination exposes God to the charge of injustice. But this is hardly correct. We could speak of injustice only if man had a claim on God, and God owed man eternal salvation. But the situation is entirely different if men have forfeited the blessings of God, as they have. No one has the right to call God to account for electing some and rejecting others. He would have been perfectly just, if He had not saved any" - Louis Berkhof
This is the point that Arminians miss when they criticise reformed theology.The arminian cries "its not fair". We all deserve Gods wrath and damnation but God by his soveriegn decree has chosen to show mercy on those he choses to show mercy on.
