John Calvin Commentary on Eph 1

"The name of Christ excludes all merit, and everything which men have of their own; for when He says that we are chosen in Christ, it follows that in ourselves we are unworthy." May we never think it was anything good in us that motivated the Father to choose us for salvation, for we in ourselves are undeserving of His favor. His choice is wholly of grace, based on His own good pleasure, and so we should be thankful always.

Eph 1:4
He choose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.
