Why Did God Choose Me? Three Truths About Adoption

God didn’t adopt because we had anything he needed. He chose his people before the foundation of the world so his grace — not our beauty — might be praised.

One of the Greatest Impacts to Christian History was built upon these teachings (The Reformation). These Doctrines put my heart to rest. As Spurgeon Once Said “The Sovereignty Of God Is the pillow in Which Christians Lay there head. “Predestined, Election, Chosen, Gods Calling.” These words are all over the Bible and we should not shy away from them because they might make us feel uncomfortable due to the Flesh always wanting to be involved. We should embrace them and I promise from my own experience that they will give you the most comfort, knowing God is in control, He is going to work all things for Good according to his purpose, He’s sovereign over sin, he’s sovereign over the devil, he’s sovereign over our temptations and always wants to strengthen, Build up, encourage through the spirit by his word. I pray that the Lord does a deep repentance in all of the hearts that would reject his sovereignty. ❤️✝️

This is a wonderful message, thank you! I lived 30 years of my adult life as an unbeliever. Jesus knocked on the door for 30 years! For me! I won't lie and say I didn't notice Him knocking, I did, and I believe all unbelievers do if they are being honest. What great Love this is! How Patient and Steadfast and Forgiving this Love is! What I pray for above all else is that all would know there is no loss in hearing His Voice and opening the door, it is ALL gain! Praise Jesus!!!

Such amazing truth we didn't do anything to receive God's adoption we were dead in our sins and were also his enemies I praise God for the atonement he provided on my behalf as apostle Paul says in Romans no one is righteous and not one seeked after God I'm paraphrasing we love him because he first loved us 1 John 4:9

God made us to exalt Him and who is more worthy of all praise from the entire universe?

I don't know why God chose me, nor do I know the basis He used to choose me before the world began, according to Eph. 1:4. But I do know He has chosen me and has also given all the faith I need to believe in Him, trust Him, accept His Sovereignty, His Mercy, His sacrifice for my sins on the Cross of Calvary, His Salvation, His forgiveness, His peace and His assurance of what He has mercifully done for me. I do not know of any who are angry at God for not choosing them. The reason is we all started off dead in trespasses and sins. Just like physically dead people can't do anything, so it is also that spiritually dead people can't do anything either. So this is why there are none angry at God for not choosing them - it's a non-issue to the spiritually dead. Only those who God has mercifully elected and gifted with eternal life care about what God thinks and does. Not only am I thankful and grateful to God, but I'm also grateful for His Sovereignty over my life, His Omnipotence, His Omniscience, His Omnipresence, etc. - all of His wonderful attributes make me overwhelmingly awestruck with wonder and thanksgiving. Until God takes me home to be with Him, my pleasure is to love Him with all my heart and soul, and to be a light and an example to all I have contact with. I have no way of knowing who else is Saved, accept by their testimony and their Godly fruits of righteousness. There are other Elects unknown to me that God may not save until the latter moments of their lives as He did for the thief on the cross beside Him. But all who have been Elected will be brought to Salvation before death or before the return of Christ. My Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone - all gifted to me and non-revocably, by my Creator God. Amen.

I have seen GOD THE FATHER, who saved me from three demons in my dream and these demons attacked me and wanted to burn my soul because they hated me for sharing THE HOLY WORDS OF GOD everyday. GOD took me away from the three demons and placed me on HIS BIG RIGHT HAND. (Bigger than tall buildings. GOD'S RIGHT HAND was surrounded by a very white bright light and sky blue light.) GOD THE FATHER has anointed me and chosen me to share the HOLY WORDS OF GOD everyday. I share this for the glory of GOD ❤✝️

The way I put it to inmates in my jail ministry is that everyone is a CREATION of God, but only those who believe on the name of Jesus are CHILDREN of God. Then I point them to John 1 and Romans 8.
