Why did God save us and call us according to 2 Timothy 1:9?
According to 2 Timothy 1:9, God saved and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works or merit, but according to His own purpose. We were saved for a purpose and reason, already in God’s mind before Adam was created, giving every believer a distinct purpose.
Les teaches from 2 Timothy 1:9 that God hath saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works. He stresses that our merit doesn't mean a thing and that we were not called as people who earned something. Instead, the call goes out to every son of Adam, and God calls according to His own purpose. Les explains that if you are a child of God, it is because it was in the purpose of God. You were saved for a purpose and a reason; every one of us was. He says we were already in the mind of God before He ever created Adam, so believers have a distinct purpose.
Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
