Salvation in Our Triune God

Peter's understanding of the work of the Triune God in the salvation of believers is profoundly displayed in these two verses. God the Father's foreknowledge is his distinguishing love he savingly placed on all his people from before the world's creation. God the Spirit calls and regenerates sinners in order to bring them into Christ's kingdom. It is Jesus' shed blood that cleanses and qualifies sinners to enter into saving fellowship with God. Those so sanctified and cleansed will become obedient subjects of Jesus the King.
