4, 5, 11 (Romans 8:29, 30; 1 Peter 1:2). God’s Predestination—The Father sets His love upon His elect people who live in the midst of men. These are the people whom Christ has redeemed by the price of His own blood; and because they respond to the drawing of Christ, through the sovereign mercy of God, they are elected to be saved as His obedient children. Upon them is manifested the free grace of God, the love wherewith He hath loved them. Everyone who will humble himself as a little child, who will receive and obey the Word of God with a child’s simplicity, will be among the elect of God....{6BC 1114.3} [Ephesians 1:2-11 quoted.]{6BC 1114.4}

4, 5, 11 (Rom. 8,29, 30; 1 Peter 1,2). Guds forudbestemmelse. - Faderen bringer Sin kærlighed over Sine udvalgte folk som lever i menneskers midte. Disse er det folk hvem Kristus har genløst ved prisen Sit eget blod; og fordi de regerer på at drage til Kristus, gennem Guds suveræne barmhjertig, er de udvalgt til at blive frelst som Hans lydige børn. På dem er Guds frie nåde manifesteret, den kærlighed hvorved Han har elsket dem. Enhver som vil ydmyge sig selv som et lille barn, som vil modtage og adlyde Guds Ord med et barns enkelthed, vil være blandt Guds udvalgte. . . . .
