Predestination to life is the everlasting purpose of God, whereby, before the foundations of the world were laid, He hath constantly decreed by His counsel secret to us, to deliver from curse and damnation those whom He hath chosen in Christ out of mankind, and to bring them by Christ to everlasting salvation as vessels made to honour.

The Church of the Reformation in the Book of Revelation is the Church of Sardis

I know thy works that thou hast a name, that livest and art dead (Rev.3:1)
