It was God\u2019s grace that chose the sinner before the<br \/>\nfoundation of the world. It was God\u2019s grace that sent Christ in due time<br \/>\nto die on the cross as a substitute for all of His chosen people. And it<br \/>\nis God\u2019s grace that sends His Holy Spirit to each one of those<br \/>\nparticular people with the gift of faith. Faith believes totally on<br \/>\nChrist. Faith believes His Word. Faith causes sinners to believe that<br \/>\nThe Father did all of the choosing in salvation, and The Son did all of<br \/>\nthe redeeming work in salvation.
