We were born on this earth, but before that God already knew us. He knew that we would be born sinners and saved all of us believers through His baptism, which took away all the sins of the world. He saved all believers and made them all His people. All this is the result of the grace of God. As it is said in Psalms 8:4, “What is man that You are mindful of him.” Those who are saved from all sins are the recipients of His special love. They are His children. “There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism” (1 Peter 3:21). “A few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water” (1 Peter 3:20). Only a few, one of a city and two of a family have been saved. We are not all that special, but we can be saved through our faith in the water and the Spirit. https://www.bjnewlife.org/en/biblestudy/sermonsDetail.php?idx=1299&findLang=English
