God's choice is also eternal because "God hath from the beginning chosen you." Since God's electing choice was from the beginning and before the foundation of the world, it was an eternal decree that has no end. It began in eternity and will last to eternity because nothing can survive to eternity but what came from eternity. "Yea, I have loved thee," said God, "with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee" (Jer. 31:3).
