“ Just as [in His love] He chose us in Christ [actually selected us for Himself as His own] before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy [that is, consecrated, set apart for Him, purpose-driven] and blameless in His sight. In love.”
Before the foundation of the world you belonged to Christ. He chose you and made you holy for His own purpose. It’s not the church you attend. It’s not the people you hang with. It wasn’t anything you did. All the credit goes to God on this one.
Stop wondering if you have purpose or importance. God set you apart for Himself to perform work on His behalf. He consecrated you and created you blameless in His sight so that He may have an eternal relationship with you, not one that’s based purely on you living a perfect life. He knew you’d make mistakes, which is why He regards you as a human-being, not a human-doing. God loves you yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Take time today to learn the path He created especially for you.
He chose you
“Gracious Father, thank You choosing me for Yourself before the foundation of the world. I am holy and set apart to do Your will. Thank You for creating me blameless in Your sight. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
