The Paradox of Salvation: God's Election and Man's Free Will

One of the big questions that frequently arises in Christian circles is the relationship between God's sovereign election and man's free will. Does God choose who will be saved, or is it determined by our own subjective choice?
God's Election and Man's Subjective Will
Acts 13:48 says, "And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed." How can we understand this verse? How do we know who is appointed by God to eternal life? Are we saved by God's election or by our own free will?
