CHOSEN AS A SPECIAL PEOPLE: IT’S ALL BECAUSE THE LORD LOVES YOU!
The knowing that God loves you should propel you to have faith and be faithful in God. His love for you is irrelevant and irrespective of whom you are, where you are, what you are in life. He just loves you. Life is about living in the acknowledgement that God loves and loved me in spite of all things.
The Biblical definition of love is – God, as its written – ‘FOR GOD IS LOVE’. Therefore, let love be your propellant in the way you do and live life day to day in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
You are God’s CHOSEN – His LOVE made it possible. Keep GLOWING, REFRESHING and REJUVENATING in God’s LOVE.
Life is WORTH living, and when living it in – LOVE, now and always.
SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!
SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“Beloved, let us LOVE one another: for LOVE is of God; and every one that LOVETH is born of God, and KNOWETH God. 8 He that LOVETH not KNOWETH not God; FOR GOD IS LOVE” 1 John 4:7-8.
“Ye have not CHOSEN me, but I HAVE CHOSEN YOU, and ORDAINED (APPOINTED) you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” John 15:16 (Emphasis Mine).
“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. 7 The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor CHOOSE you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people: 8 BUT BECAUSE THE LORD LOVED YOU, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. 9 Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations” Deuteronomy 7:6-9.
