11. God always does what he plans, and that's why he appointed Christ to choose us.
12. He did this so that we Jews would bring honour to him and be the first ones to have hope because of him.
13. Christ also brought you the truth, which is the good news about how you can be saved. You put your faith in Christ and were given the promised Holy Spirit to show that you belong to God.
