"(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
I had much to ponder on in this chapter. I thought about both sides of the veil. God knew us so well before we were born that He determined which lineage we would come through as our election. Not all live up to what they were given, and others not of Abraham's seed can be adopted in to receive the promises. Yet, when we seal children to their parents in the temple. There is again no conditions placed on that sealing. So lineage means something in the coming and going and into the eternities. Living up to the blessings of eternal life are were our faith and works comes in.
