I am Chosen

I am Chosen

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; NAS

 

May I say, I do not believe the limitations of predestination, meaning, those who believe only some are predestine to salvation and some are not.  Yet I believe in the sovereignty of God, that He watches over the chosen or those who have been saved, born again.

We are chosen at our salvation, when we got saved, again showing the importance of being saved. And God knows and determined what will happen to that group of born again believers. (I have no problem with that) nor do I know who they are, so I try to win all or as many as I can for Him.

So being chosen, we had to called.

A call to salvation. The beginning of salvation is hearing the call of God, to be saved. It’s by the urging of the Holy Spirit. As He woos you, speaking to your heart.  You see, the triune God head (trinity) all have a part of your salvation. For God the Father loved you, Jesus, God the son, laid down His life for you, and God the Holy Spirit calls you unto salvation.

And being Chosen, we are converted

A converted sinner, converted to follow the Savior and not sin, Satan and the worldly system. It’s a heart change. Believing with your heart. Based on believing the word of God. Saying this is true and right. Also, it’s head or mind change, sounding out after a logical conclusion in your words, I believe.

And being Chosen, we are changed.

A change to sainthood. Many choses and vote one to be a saint, but God choses you immediately to become a saint. A saint of God. And part of the number when the saints come marching in at His return to this earth. ( and that’s another subject)

And being Chosen, our course is set.

For God has a plan and will for the chosen to follow. Ultimately, Heaven’s our home and we know that, but we are heading in a new direction in our life. Not following self, sin and secular living, but following the Savoir.

God said, I chose the saved and born again.  Also, God said, I use can use them and reward the chosen for their service. Literally, reward them for their love, life and labor for the Lord God.

The Apostle Peter said it correctly in 1Peter 2, YE or you are Chosen!! He knew, for he was called unto salvation, He believed in Jesus, and he follow Him is service. Spent three years with as a disciple, meaning a learner, as he, indeed learned many things of Jesus.  Jesus said I will call him and then I can use him. And he did, Peter gave up the fishing trade with his brother and followed Jesus. Became number one of the disciples. A leader and a learner. Oh yes, Peter still doubted, but he came back after he saw a resurrected Lord.

So please call on Jesus today,He will hear you and he will save you 😊
