“The objects of election and redemption are the same;  Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect?—It is Christ that died!  Died for  the elect!  So the same us all, for whom God delivered up His Son, are those whom He foreknew, and whom he predestinated; and whose calling, justification, and glorification are secured thereby, Rom. 8:30-33; and the same us, who are said to be chosen in Christ, before the foundation of the world, who have redemption in Him through His blood, Eph. 1:4,7.  Election and redemption are of equal extent; no more are redeemed by Christ than are chosen in Him; and these are a special people.”  John Gill (1697-1771)
