Faith is the gift of God. Does our Father love us because he called us? No! He saved us, called us, and blesses us because he loved us! His love preceded any and every gift. “For God so loved that he gave his only Son.” His gifts accepted did not bring his love to us either, because he loved us in Christ before he gave salvation and before we embraced him. And if any person says, “God loves us because we do this or that for God,” that person talks nonsense. “I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee” (Jer. 31:3).
