God the Father rescues us out from under the powers of darkness when we the ultimate decision to make Jesus our choice. Our acceptance and desire to receive Him as our Savior and Lord. We also talk about how faith played a central role in our believing in the person of Christ Jesus by faith, since we were not around to witness His Life on earth and the ultimate sacrifice at the Cross.
Colossians 1:13 says that The Father has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love. Ephesians 1:4 tells us that God chose us first before we chose Him.
