2:14 Salvation produces a people who have the desire and capacity for the good deeds outlined in 2:2-10.
• He gave his life: See also 1 Tim 2:6.
• to free us: See Gal 3:22; 4:4-5; cp. Exod 6:6-8.
• The phrase his very own people recalls the formation of Israel as a nation (see Exod 19:5; Deut 7:6; 14:2). Those who follow Christ are now God’s people—his nation—and the Spirit leads them to keep God’s covenant.
• totally committed to doing good deeds: See Titus 1:16; Eph 2:10.
