YOU ARE CHOSEN BY GOD!

“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.”
Eph 1:4 (KJV)
Main Text:

It’s important we know that God chose us before we chose Him. This doesn’t speak about the message of election, it speaks boldly of the grace of God working evidently in mankind. Jesus died for everyone on the planet not a select few, however, we decide if we will choose to follow Him or not.

What the above scripture means in basic terms is that; God was thinking about you before He created the earth. In love, He chose you to be His child/heir when your time on earth would come. He knew about all your human weaknesses long before you were born, and knows them better than you know them – despite this, God didn’t change His mind, He chose you! He chose you according to the good pleasure of His will (Eph 1:5).

God is a God of action who wants to do something with your life, that is why He chose you. He has big plans for you, however, it’s up to you to allow Him carry out these plans in your life.

                   

Confession: I am blessed! I am a son of God, chosen by Him before the foundations of the world! He knows my name; I belong to the family of God – Hallelujah!

Further Reading: John 15:16 (KJV) “Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.  ”Deut 14:2 (ESV) “For you are a people holy to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.”

Read through The Bible: 2 Kings 19 and Hebrews 1
