Q.13. What in particular has God decreed about angels and human beings?
A. By an eternal and unchangeable decree, which originates merely from his love, exists for the praise of his glorious grace, and is to be revealed at the proper time, God has elected some angels for glory[1] and in Christ has chosen some human beings for eternal life, along with the means by which this choice will be accomplished.[2]Additionally, in accordance with his sovereign power and the hidden purposes of his own will (by which, as he pleases, he extends or withholds favor), God decided not to include the rest and to foreordain them to be inflicted with dishonor and anger for their sin, to the praise of the glory of his justice.[3]
