I Peter 1:2 Election or Salvation, Which Comes First?

Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:

The "election" mentioned in the above verse is not the cause of the sanctification of the Spirit, the obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ - rather, we who have the sanctification of the Spirit, the obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ are called "elect" because of having experienced such things.

We are called "elect" according to and through (or, in [YLT]) those experiences.
