Apostle Peter firing up the troops scattered in the province of Asia under the severe persecution of Nero, The Doctrine of Election is a doctrine of encouragement. The word of God is full of scriptures designed to encourage the Christian under attack by this evil word. Colossians 3:12-25 tells us to put on our Christian Elect attire. All those who declared that they are elect must be clothed in righteousness. Paul tells the Thessalonians 1:2-5 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;
3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. {beloved...: or, beloved of God, your election}
5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.
