Who hath saved us; that is, brought us into a state of salvation, and given us a right to it. And called us with an holy calling; and, in order to our obtaining it, hath effectually called, renewed, and sanctified us. Not according to our works; not for any merits of ours. But according to his own purpose and grace; but from his own free love purposing and decreeing eternal salvation to us, with the means adequate to it. Which was given us in Christ Jesus; to be obtained through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ. Before the world began; which purpose of his was before the foundation of the world was laid, and therefore could not be according to our works, but must be of his own grace, Ephesians 1:4 Titus 3:5.
