Paul now shifts from the doomed condition of unbelievers to the hope of believers.
These Christians were beloved of the Lord. God had chosen salvation through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and belief of the truth. The Spirit of God works in hearts, convicts of sin, and draws people to Christ through the Gospel.
Notice the emphasis again on belief in truth. These believers responded to the Gospel and received it as the Word of God.
