BIBLE MEDITATION:
“According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.” Ephesians 1:4

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
The Holy Trinity worked together for your salvation. God the Father thought it, God the Spirit wrought it, and God the Son bought it. Christians are God’s special chosen ones. Are you a believer? Then you are a wanted child. Your salvation didn’t “just happen.”

Ephesians 1:4 tells you that God chose you before the foundation of the world. Before He swung the stars in space, before He planted the seeds, before He built the mountains, before all of that, you were in the heart and mind of God. How special you are to God!

ACTION POINT:
God the Father sent His Spirit into the world to select and sanctify His children for His holy purpose. We are utterly dependent upon the Spirit for our salvation. And we seek Him because He first sought us!

Jack,

Thank you for the lift.

I like to think of that scripture as for all people, including non-Christians. We are all God's children. We are all created in His image. Christians are like the prodigal son. We have realized that God's wisdom, love and plan for us is so much better for us than our puny minds can conceive, so have returned to Him. Through God's Grace we have been accepted back to our Father's House. PTL that this is still available to all people. “According as He hath chosen us..."
