God has chosen me


I HAVE CHOSEN YOU


"Long ago, even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes." Ephesians 1:4

"Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own?  Will God? NO!  He is he one who has given us right standing with himself.  Who then will condemn us?  Will Christ Jesus?  No, for he is the one who died for us and was raised to life for us and is sitting at the place of honor next to God, pleading for us."  Romans 8:33


Ephesians 1

Ephesians 1:3-9


"How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms because we belong to Christ.  Long ago, even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be hold and without fault in his eyes.  His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ.  And this gave him great pleasure.  So we praise God for the wonderful kindness he has poured out on us because we belong to his dearly loved Son.  He is so rich in kindness that he purchased our freedom through the blood of his Son and our sins are forgiven.  He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.  God's secret plan has now been revealed to us, it is a plan centered on Christ, designed long ago according to his good pleasure."
