Day #178 – I Am Chosen
Dear God I’m Grateful That I Am Chosen
.
“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 NLT
.
The definition of chosen is having been selected as the best or most appropriate. According to Romans 8:29-30 NLT , God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son, Jesus Christ, would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. Having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory, removing any doubt, fear, or discouragement.
.
““I have called you back from the ends of the earth, saying, ‘You are my servant.’ For I have chosen you and will not throw you away. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.”
Isaiah 41:9-10 NLT
.
God chose us to bring justice to all who have been wronged. He chose us to serve as a symbol of his covenant and be a light that guides the nations.
.
““Look at my servant, whom I strengthen. He is my chosen one, who pleases me. I have put my Spirit upon him. He will bring justice to the nations. He will not shout or raise his voice in public. He will not crush the weakest reed or put out a flickering candle. He will bring justice to all who have been wronged. He will not falter or lose heart until justice prevails throughout the earth. Even distant lands beyond the sea will wait for his instruction.” “I, the Lord, have called you to demonstrate my righteousness. I will take you by the hand and guard you, and I will give you to my people, Israel, as a symbol of my covenant with them. And you will be a light to guide the nations. You will open the eyes of the blind. You will free the captives from prison, releasing those who sit in dark dungeons.” – Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7 NLT
.
As Gods chosen, we are royal priests, a holy nation and God’s very own possession. As a result, we can show others the goodness of God, for he called us out of the darkness and into his wonderful light.” (1 Peter 2:9 NLT)
