Les explains that the election, the remnant of Israel, is still being prepared by God for the end-time events. They are beloved because of their forefathers—Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and so forth. He emphasizes that the gifts and calling of God are without repentance, defining repentance here as a change of mind, not falling down and weeping for sin. God has not changed His mind about Israel; He constantly goes back to the patriarchs and His love for them when dealing with their offspring. This is what Paul is saying, referring back to Genesis 12.
