Before the World Began

Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.

� Ephesians 1:4

Before the world was made, even before sin entered into this world that was made, God predestined you. He chose you to be His child. We use phrases like "the day I found the Lord," and that is true in one sense. But in another sense, God chose us before we chose Him.



Jesus said, "You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain . . ." (John 15:16). God chose us before we ever were around to choose Him. We may wonder, What merit or goodness did He find in me that He would choose me to be His child? There was no merit. In spite of our best intentions or the high opinion we may hold of ourselves, God's choosing had nothing to do with our merit or goodness.



If you knew what would happen before it took place, would you choose something that worked in your favor or against it? God knew exactly how you would turn out. And He chose you from the foundation of the world.



You might say, "I think the Lord made a mistake here because I'm a loser." But God chose you to win. God chose you to be something that He will make you into. You may look at yourself and see your flaws and shortcomings, but just remember that you are still a work in progress.



God isn't finished with you yet � not while your heart is still beating! And He will complete what He has begun in your life. So rejoice that He chose you from the foundation of the world.



God chose you to win. Did you choose God to live with Him, WALK with Him and NOT in your sins and sexual immorality?!



Our choices determine our destination. If we will choose GOD then we will WIN.

If we will choose sinful life then we will suffer the shipwreck of our faith being crashed by our sins!



God isn't finished with you yet, He wants you to be transformed in the Image of His SON Jesus!



But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the SAME image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

2 Corinthians 3:18



Romans 8:29

For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the IMAGE of his Son:angel:, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.



And He will complete what He has begun in your life...if you will be WITH Him :angel:and NOT against Him:angeldevil:.
