On his website, Arminian Perspectives, Ben Henshaw has a questions page at which he answers questions about Arminianism and Calvinism that visitors to his site pose in the comment section of the page. Here is a question from a woman named Debra.
Question: Why does John 10:26 say “you do not believe because you are not my sheep” instead of “you are not my sheep because you do not believe?”
Answer: Good question. I recommend you read the following article. It is a long read, but well worth the time: Robert Hamilton, “The Order of Faith and Election in John’s Gospel: You Do Not Believe Because You Are Not My Sheep” — https://evangelicalarminians.org/robert-hamilton-the-order-of-faith-and-election-in-johns-gospel-you-do-not-believe-because-you-are-not-my-sheep/.
