9. For —assigning the ground of our "hopes" ( 1 Thessalonians 5:8 ). appointed us —Translate, "set" ( Acts 13:47 ), in His everlasting purpose of love ( 1 Thessalonians 3:3 ; 2 Timothy 1:9 ). Contrast Romans 9:22 ; Judges 1:4 . to —that is, unto wrath. to obtain — Greek, "to the acquisition of salvation"; said, according to BENGEL, Of One saved out of a general wreck, when all things else have been lost: so of the elect saved out of the multitude of the lost ( 2 Thessalonians 2:13 ; 2 Thessalonians 2:14 ). The fact of God's "appointment" of His grace "through Jesus Christ" ( Ephesians 1:5 ), takes away the notion of our being able to "acquire" salvation of ourselves. Christ "acquired (so the Greek for 'purchased') the Church (and its salvation) with His own blood" ( Ephesians 1:5- : ); each member is said to be appointed by God to the "acquiring of salvation." In the primary sense, God does the work; in the secondary sense, man does it. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-10" class="com-number"
