Doctrine of God and Us

Romans 8:29-30
 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

Jesus' Calling us to Himself
When did God first think of you ? 
When did God first call you ?

Ephesians 3:3-4
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

God chose us before the foundation of the world.
When God decided to call you ? 

2 Tim 1:9
9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,

Time is an earthly thing. God have us in mind before time, before earth was created. There is no years in eternity. 

God chose and calls you before time eternal, a long time ago. He thought about you. 
In the process of our time, we experienced that call of God.
God is actively calling. It is not our works to convince people to believe in God. It is God's call and works to save people.
