YOU ARE CHOSEN💜

Romans 11:4-8

Have you given thought to how powerful Grace is? I find it compelling that scripture references the word  “election by grace”.  Let’s go deeper. 

Election by definition means “chosen”. I find it astounding and humbling to realize that God has CHOSEN or “elected” us to be partakers of His amazing GRACE. 

When we realize, this act of love was God’s choice and an act of “His will” after we chose to believe in Jesus by faith, we come to more fully understand  how good the love of GOD truly is! 

Ephesians 1:13 tells us that Holy Spirit seals us to God when we BELIEVE: 

Eph 1:11-14 

11 In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.

13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the [b]guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

* Holy Spirit of promise: see John 1:17

* ⁠earnest or down payment for our inheritance in Heaven: see 2 Cor 5:

Sadly, those who rely upon their good works to earn their place in Heaven, who have not received the revelation of the election of GRACE remain “blinded” or unable to see or perceive the truth of the life, mercy, goodness and grace of God through Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross.

Let’s thank our great GOD, for his Amazing GRACE and the freedom He gives from religious striving and performance and rejoice  in our true identity in Him! Let’s choose to trust JESUS, who is one with the Father and the Holy Spirit, with a deeper adoration and awe for HE IS TRULY WORTHY of ALL our love, adoration and praise!!!

Titus 3:3-7

3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 

4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 

5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 

6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 

7 that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Hallelujah!!! Thank you GOD!!!
