Ephesians 1:4
According as He has chosen us in Him before the foundation of the
world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love;
Today's
lesson text is a powerful testimony to God's love and Him being all knowing as
our scripture text explains the believer's election in Christ. This also speaks
to God's choice of who will believe and accept His Son Jesus Christ as the
Savior of the world as well as knowing before creation that He would form Him a
special people who would live holy lives unto Him.
With
that being said, God knew who would believe in His Son before the foundation of
the world. It is noteworthy to say that Christ is the first elect of God as He
was before all and everything exist through Him. It is through the believer's
union with Christ that believers become the elect of God through the shed blood
of Jesus Christ. God forming His peculiar people on a corporate level would be
called the bride of Christ, His church, or a called out nation of people.
Also
being the chosen of God is to salvation and holiness in and through Christ our
Savior. Being the chosen or the elect of God is offered to all, but becomes a
reality with each individual's repentant faith in Jesus Christ.
Being
the chosen of God carries many blessings.
