Good morning. Paul, speaking of God: Who has saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all eternity. We are the called out ones. He called us out of something (The world) that He might bring us into something (holiness); just like He called Israel out of Egypt into the promised land. We did not work our way into this salvation - it was His grace. And it was not a last minute thing – He did it from all eternity past. Even though it was in Scripture, the world came to know it by: now has been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. They had the word, but could not see what God was going to do. Or even if they did see it, they rejected it because it did not fit their doctrine. Things have happened in the modern era that the church did not see because it did not fit their doctrine. There may even be things that will happen that the church does not see because it does not fit their doctrine today. He has abolished death; so we should no longer fear dying. Instead of death, we have life and immortality! Father thank You that You chose the reader for eternal life. Continue healing him/her.
