In the beginning God knew who would be the ones to accept him. (foreknowledge)
Because in the beginning God chose them to be in Christ. (elected by grace)
God intervened at points in history, according to his plan, for his purposes.
His message went out. People made a choice.(the parable of the sower)
Many are called, few are chosen. (the predestined)
Those chosen few (the ordained) have/are being conformed to the likeness in mind and spirit to that of Christ.
These are the faithful who will be resurrected and have the same body as the risen Christ. (our destination)
These are the fruitful in the sower parable.
These are the five wise virgins that went in with the Lord.
These are Christ’s at his coming.
