If, as some claim, God determines who is saved and who isn't, then why is Paul praying for their Salvation? The answer is found in this chapter, it is that they have not submitted to God's righteousness (verse 3) found in Christ. What opens us up to God's salvation is faith in Jesus, and that is all. It isn't works or even knowledge, it is faith that causes action (confession, being of one mind). It is this faith that will cause you to be righteous and to live as God wants and nothing else.
