Q.20.   Did God leave all mankind to die in sin and misery?

A.20.       From all eternity and merely because it pleased Him God chose some to have everlasting life.  These He freed from sin and misery by a covenant of grace and brought them to salvation by a redeemer.

Memory Verse:

                               For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. (Ephesians 1:4)
