Okay so back to my point, The resurrection of Christ in Rom 4:25 gives evidence of the Justification of them Christ was delivered up for bearing their offences. Those Christ died for are born legally Justified from their sins. Christ resurrection gives testimony of it.

This does not negate free will as individuals still have the choice to accept or reject the gift of salvation offered through Christ

No one will argue that because of the resurrection the content of Romans 4:25, (which highlights not only Christ's death) but forces anyone with half a mind to see the resurrection's profound significance for those with faith.

Jesus' shed blood, which God demands for the forgiveness is applied to those believers. In OT times they used animal blood for a temporary fix. God loved us enough to send his own son to die a torturous death for us shedding his precious blood so those with "the faith" necessary are offered hope and assurance of eternal life, and allowing us to know, without doubt, if we do not waiver from our faith we will also be raised from the dead.

It emphasizes the importance of living a life aligned with that faith as we exercise our free will to choose between good and evil.

If the Heavenly Father had predestined us to be one of the blessed, and then after He picked us and He gave us the faith to believe....WHY? For what purpose because He would know if he picked us we would accept whatever we were told, taught, read or heard.....

But then felt the need to cap it off with the crucifixion that even his very own Son said...in Luke 22:42 " saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.”.... knowing the torture he would be experiencing for hours on end.
 
This does not negate free will as individuals still have the choice to accept or reject the gift of salvation offered through Christ
The ones Justified B4 God by Christ Death for them are born Justified while they are ungodly, by the will of God, their will had nothing to do with it. It was not any offers made, save Christ offering of Himself for their sins.
 
Actually hearing and believing come after the New birth!
Acts2:38Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Repenting and being baptized (which also assumes hearing and believing) happen prior to receiving the Holy Spirit, which is the point of being born again.

I’ll take Peter’s word for it over yours!

Rom 4:23The words “it was credited to him” were written not for him alone, 24but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification.

It is for whoever “believe(s) in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead”.

There is nothing here about whether the number of people is predetermined or limited by decree. It is a straight forward statement that God will credit righteousness to whoever believes in him.
