       God had to bring a word to us so that we would trust in him. Thus, God made the first move. Even if, say, an unbeliever walks into the library and get’s a Christian book, and then believes in God as a result of that book, that person still had to receive a word in order to believe. Without the message from God, the person could not have come into relationship with God. I think this better helps us understand how it is that God has actually chosen us. Finally, Paul informs us that the people God has justified, made right with him, he has also glorified. Our salvation is guaranteed for sure. Just as God raised the Lord Jesus Christ from the dead, he is also going to raise us up after we die. We understand that this is going to happen at the Rapture of the Church, as Paul had already told the Corinthians in his first letter to them (see 1 Corinthians 15).
