Romans 1:6-7 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called [to be] saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Here we see that Divine Love, precedes the calling of sinners, just as the calling we see here precedes the sinners sanctification. Now, what I want you to see here this morning is that Paul said the things that he did here for a purpose. Not only did he say these things to us to help us, but the very order in which he said them gives us more detail to what he is bringing across in this verse.
