Paul's election for the sake of preaching the gospel

"But when he who had set me apart before I was born, and who called me by his grace, was pleased to reveal his Son to me, in order that I might preach him among the Gentiles..." Galatians 1:15-16

We are told here that election is before Paul was born. Else where in Romans 9 we are told that God elected Jacob and Reprobated Esau before they werer not yet born and before either one of them had done anything either good or bad - God chose Jacob for Divine pleasure and Esau for Divine displeasure. Therefore I may further say that here God before Paul was born set him apart for vessels of glory from vessels of destruction. God was therefore please that He might reveal Christ to the Apostle. There is another thing I want to mention here and that is the fact that reveal may also be something that means to unveil. That is God unveiled Paul's darkened eyes that Paul might see the glory of Christ crucified for Sinners. As it is said that Christ death is to be a mystery for those who not believe and who are void of the Spirit (1 Corinthians 1-2). This divine election was so that Paul might preach the gospel to the Gentiles. As Men and Women of the Grace of God we should be humbled for salvation was not of our own doing or any fore seeing of us doing anything. It was all of God and not of me. Therefore Humble yourselfs in obedience to God's gracious work, which He prepared beforehand that We should walk in them (Ephesians 2:10) as we are His workmanship in Christ! God be praised! May His truth be accepted and applied today.
