Thought for today - God chose to love me, redeem me, and make me holy.
I feel it’s important for me to spend a few days with these two verses. Herein lie some profound truths that define the church.
The opening phrase contains three critical statements.
The church exists by the choice of God
for men and women who have been made holy by their regeneration in the gospel, and
who are beloved of God.
Paul used these words to describe the church:
• God’s chosen ones - everyone in the church was chosen by God and no one chosen by God is left out.
• Holy - the church is made up of men and women who are made holy by being regenerated (born again) by grace through faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ.
• And beloved - these are the ones upon whom God lavishes His love.
I am overwhelmed that God chose to love me, to redeem me, and to make me holy!
That’s what the Bible says!
