Is God unjust because He only chooses some for salvation, and not all? By the standards of democratic society, perhaps it is unjust and unfair, but God does not operate by the ethics of modern society. God operates out of the very depth of His own being – based not on an external set of rules or codes, but based on His own character and nature. So then, all His choices and all His purposes are moved forward on the basis of His mercy and compassion which are the very essence of who God is. Even His wrath and judgment work in harmony with His merciful purpose for all creation. So then God acts in all fairness and justice, because He is mercy and compassion which guides every choice, purpose, and action of God.
