Commenting on 1 Peter 1:2 :
“If Christians ignore the doctrine of Election, they fail to understand the glories of redemption, they fail to honor the sovereignty of God and Christ, and they fail to appreciate the immense spiritual privileges that are theirs. ……Election is such a powerful truth that when Christians understand it, the practical ramifications of election will transform the way they live their daily lives.”
