“Those whom God foreknew would believe in him he chose to receive the promises. But those who appear to believe yet do not persevere in the faith are not chosen by God, because whoever God chooses will persevere.” St Ambrose . “Let us understand the words ‘…conformed to the image of His Son’: This applies to our inner person.
