Romans 8:29

For those God foreknew
he also
predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son,
that
he
might be the firstborn among many brothers.

And those he predestined,
he also called;
those he called,
he also justified;
those he justified,
he also glorified.

------------------------------------------------------

Ephesians 1:4-6

For he chose
us in him
before the creation of the world
to be holy and blameless in his sight.
In love
he predestined us
to be adopted
as his sons through Jesus Christ,
in accordance
with his pleasure and will--
to the praise of his glorious grace,
which he has
freely given
us
in the One he loves.

------------------------------------------------------

Ephesians 1:10-12

...to be put into effect
when the times will have reached their fulfillment--
to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.
In him we were also chosen,
having been predestined according to the plan of him
who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,
in order that we,
who were the first to hope in Christ,
might be for the praise of his glory.

Thanks for the verses; did you want to discuss them? Or did you think what they say is self-evident?

So if you accept Christ and are now in Him, you are part of the chosen. And that grace is the gift of God. I couldn't agree with you more.

A hearty AMEN to the verses. Been preachin on verses like these lately. Love em love em love em love em... Our future looks bright indeed!!!

And of course lets not forget (the passage I preached on last week)

Eph. 1:3-6. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before him in love. He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will,
to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

Most beautiful love story ever told!

That was a good sermon; listened to it online today.
