2 Thessalonians 2:14

“whereunto He called you through our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ”

“Whereunto: To such. salvation. “To the whole program of being saved through sanctification of spirit and belief of the truth” (Fields p. 213). ‘He called you through our gospel”: God does not call people subjectively or mysteriously. God calls people with an objective and concrete message. Be impressed that all are called (Mark 16:15). Therefore no one has been "chosen" for salvation or damnation apart from their own choices, after all why would God "call" everyone, He had previously excluded the vast majority from being able to accept such. call?

“Obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ”: We are called to share His glory (2 Corinthians 3:18; 1 Peter 3:21; 1 John 3:2; Romans 8:17). When Jesus comes again, believers will be glorified (2 Thessalonians 1:10). In view of such. wonderful promise, let no one say that Christianity is for losers, that one cannot be successful and. Christian at the same time, or that the Church never "wins". The Christian is the only person in this world that is truly "bound for glory".
