*THE CHOSEN ONES OF GOD*
*_Ephesians 1:4 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:_*
As God was planning for the establishment of the world, you and I were in the Original blue print plans of God. Isn't it wonderful.
The Lord chose us before time began. For He (God) is the ancient of days as it is written in *Isaiah 43:13* that " *_Yea, before the day was I am he;..."*_
He spoke to Jeremiah 1:5 and said _, "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations._
This is how precious you are as a child of the Most high God, he says in *Romans 8:29* " _For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren._
The Lord speaks to moses in *Deuteronomy 7:6* _For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth._
This was a specific assurance for the children of Israeli, but i want to thank God for the original plan He had for the whole world that he may have the people as his own. And that is the reason for the sacrifice, the blood, the laying down of the life of His only begotten son, Jesus christ, the one who is the mediator between man and God to the reconciliation of the once lost relationship.
Today we have the assurance as it is written in *Romans 10:12* _For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him._
Child of God, God finished you, that is why he knew your end from the beginning. Instensify your relationship and choose to be chosen because you belong to the eternity of the eternal Father.
Shalom
