Most times when people think about Salvation, they assume it is a human idea or an alternative to a lifestyle. You will often hear those who are saved say, 'I am born again, I nolonger go to clubs.' This alone does not justify that you are saved, because there are many groups of people who do not club but are not saved. Therefore, there is more to Salvation than a change of behavior.
The verse shows that God has saved and called us with a holy calling. What this means is that Salvation is so much a plan of God than it is a plan of man. He worked it out for us that we should be different.
Having understood this; no man therefore, can boast because he is born again neither treat it as something light. But rather, there comes a burning desire to share the good news of the Kingdom of God with others; that they too may be participators in the life of God.
