CHOSEN BY GOD

Ephesians 1:5 is amazing. An earlier devotion was titled “We Are a Chosen People.”
I am following that devotion with todays, which is “Chosen by God.”
The scripture for today’s lesson is found in Ephesians 1:5:
“God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to
himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him
great pleasure.”

The writer indicates that God decided in advance to adopt us into His own family by bringing us to Himself for His Glorious Grace. He purchased our freedom with the blood of His dear Son. God chose us and gave us His Son as our Savior as a gift of His love. We are chosen by God as His very own. We should rejoice! Despite all our sinfulness, God chose us! Even though we have missed the mark and have done so many things unpleasing to God, He still chose us! He still loves us! Nothing that we have done will take away the blessings He has in store for us. He chose us to be His very own. What a blessing it is
to know that God chose us! We did not get to choose many things in life, but the fact
remains that He chose us! Give God praise!
