God's Purpose in His Calling

God is universally sovereign as well as sovereign over every individual and their personal salvation. As great as the benefit of salvation is to mankind the ultimate reason for it is the resulting praise to God and His pleasure in that salvation. God's choice of who was to be saved was on the basis of HIs will and good pleasure. Before God no individual is more worthy or of benefit to God in their choice. Everyone is a sinner before God who is holy having no personal merit beyond having been created to be in a relationship with God by fact of the original creation design being in His image. God being triune in His being carried out the salvation of those who were chosen to be saved, as He has revealed, before the foundation of the world was laid.
