One subject change after another, running from the fact God chooses individuals for salvation based on crediting their faith as righteousness.
This is the gospel truth their false doctrine denies.

How did they obey the Truth ? 1 Pet 1One subject change after another, running from the fact God chooses individuals for salvation based on crediting their faith as righteousness.
This is the gospel truth their false doctrine denies.
22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
How are we saved? God chooses an individual for salvation by spiritually setting that person apart in Christ, the sanctification by the Spirit, based on crediting the person's faith as righteousness. In Christ they undergo the washing of regeneration, they are made alive together with Christ, also called the circumcision of Christ where whatever God held against the individual is removed, and then the individual is indwelt with the Holy Spirit, our Helper who carries out the renewing of our mind.
Did we commit to Christ first, or did Christ die as a ransom for all first? Christ demonstrated His love for us while we were yet sinners. Were we saved then given faith, or did God credit our faith as righteousness, then save us? God credited our faith before He saved us.
Did we commit to Christ first, or did Christ die as a ransom for all first? Christ demonstrated His love for us while we were yet sinners. Were we saved then given faith, or did God credit our faith as righteousness, then save us? God credited our faith before He saved us.

Folks those who have been Chosen to Salvation have been also Chosen to believe the Gospel by which they are called to Eternal Glory 2 Thess 2:13-14
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
This is all about the elect,
The non elect and their plight were explained in the previous verses in contrast 2 Thess 2:10-12
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
These were not chosen to salvation nor to believe the Truth, but to believe lies !
