God The Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and God the Holy Spirit
according to the foreknowledge of God the father, in the sanctification of the Spirit for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with His blood: 1 Peter 1:2 Peter made a strong declaration to the people on how God chose us. At one time, it was the Israelites as his chosen people. However, through Christ, all believers are chosen. Jews and Gentiles, all belong to God. Our salvation and security rest in the merciful choice of God. We are chosen to be God’s people according to the foreknowledge of God.

God Chose You To Be Saved
But we ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers beloved by the Lord because God chose you as the first fruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. 2 Thessalonians 2:13 Have you ever thought about giving God thanks for choosing you? We ought too!! We should give him thanks because he chose us first. Then through salvation, we have the option to choose him back. We must accept His gift of salvation. although we have an option to refuse it. I don’t recommend that though!! Paul is encouraging the Thessalonians that God chose them from the beginning. Sanctification is the process…

Choice And Predestination
In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who work all things according to the counsel of his will, Ephesians 1:11 The believer’s inheritance consists of the promise of eternal life with God and all the spiritual blessings the heavenly father supplies until then. Predestination means to decide beforehand and applies to God’s purposes. God’s purpose is to offer salvation to every person. He is sovereign, He is in charge. When life seems chaotic, rest in this truth: Jesus is Lord, and God is in control. Paul is not claiming that people have no self – determining the free will. As…

Chose You And Appointed You

Put on then as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Colossians 3:12 You are chosen! Pause and think about this. You are chosen! you are chosen by our Triune God. Since you are holy and beloved and God’s chosen, you now can put on these new characteristics: compassionate heart, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.
