That whereon rests my aim as an apostle to promote the elect's faith and full knowledge of the truth, is, "the hope of eternal life" ( Titus 2:13 ; Titus 3:7 ; Acts 23:6 ; Acts 24:15 ). that cannot lie — ( Romans 3:4 ; Romans 11:29 ; Hebrews 6:18 ). promised before the world began —a contracted expression for " purposed before the world began (literally, 'before the ages of time'), and promised actually in time," the promise springing from the eternal purpose; as in 2 Timothy 1:9 , the gift of grace was the result of the eternal purpose "before the world began." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
