Who hath saved us,<\/strong> 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 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:\u00a02 Timothy 1:9<\/a>,10<\/a>,11<\/a><\/p>\n

The Church is said to be saved, and called, with an<\/p>\n

holy calling. Not any holiness in the Church, or from<\/p>\n

foreseeing holiness in the Church; for it is immediately<\/p>\n

added, not according to our works. It could not be<\/p>\n

according to our works, for the saving is said to have<\/p>\n

been before the world began. Neither could it be from<\/p>\n

any works after, for when the Church is quickened, in<\/p>\n

every individual member of CHRIST\u2019S mystical body; the<\/p>\n

sinner is said to be quickened, that was before dead in<\/p>\n

trespasses and sins.\u00a0Ephesians 2:1<\/a>. Neither could it be<\/p>\n

from the prospect of anything to be wrought of holiness<\/p>\n

in us, after grace is received; for this scripture saith, that<\/p>\n

it was GOD\u2019S purpose, and grace given us in CHRIST JESUS,<\/p>\n

and that before the world began. Hence, every testimony<\/p>\n

bears a beautiful correspondence to all the other parts of<\/p>\n

scripture, that grace, and salvation, are all of GOD, not of<\/p>\n

man. We are saved by grace through faith; and that not of<\/p>\n

ourselves, it is the gift of GOD, not of works, lest any man<\/p>\n

should boast.\u00a0Ephesians 2:8<\/a>,\u00a09<\/a>. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Robert Hawker poor man\u2019s commentary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
