NASB | Ephesians 1:4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 1:4 just as [in His love] He chose us in Christ [actually selected us for Himself as His own] before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy [that is, consecrated, set apart for Him, purpose-driven] and blameless in His sight. In love |
Bible Question (short): Has God already chosen who he would save |
Question (full): if the "us" refers only to the saved, than isn't that saying that God already chose those he would save, and thus, what's the point in trying to convert those he hasn't chosen? Or is the "us" everyone on earth... but are they holy and blameless, set apart for Him? |
