CHOSEN IN CHRIST

November 28, 2014 · Lanre Oyeleke · 140 views

Eph1:4- Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes. NLT

It is wonderful to know that God chose you in Christ even before he created the world. God's plan for you cannot be carbon-dated because his plan for your redemption was already in his mind long before the material world came to being. What a wonderful father!

I want you to know that your salvation is not an accident as God had it all planned out before he created heaven and earth. That is why the saints of God are referred to as the elect. God didn't chose you for nothing but he did so because he want you to be holy and blameless in his sight.

It is very possible to be holy and without fault in God's sight as long as we remain in Christ because it is only in Christ we can attain that level. If it isn't possible, Paul wouldn't have said so in Eph1:4. God's expectation of us is that we should remain in Christ so that we can give expression to the God-kind of life in us.

Action point

CONFESSION: - I receive grace to abide in Christ so that my life can radiate the God-kind of life.
