For many believers this is a passage they like to skip because it has 2 words in it that are very controversial ( predestined and chose). However, they are very much a part of the Bible and the doctrine of Election. This is one of the many passages in the Bible that seem to me to definitely teach the doctrine of election, so I feel that believers own it to themselves to really study it and I also believe that you will come to love the doctrine because in it God receives all the glory for our salvation.
