But Even Before I Was Born,
God Chose Me
And Called Me By His Marvelous Grace
Galatians 1
15 But even before I was born, God chose me and called me by his marvelous grace. Then it pleased him 16 to reveal his Son to me so that I would proclaim the Good News about Jesus to the Gentiles.
Observation
Before
my Mom and my Dad even thought about having me God chose me and called me by
His marvelous grace. If you are a follower of Jesus Christ then the same thing
has happened to you! We have been chosen for a purpose and that purpose is for
us to proclaim the Good News about Jesus!
16 You didn’t choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name.
Ephesians 1
4 Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.
11 Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.
1 Peter 2:9
But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light.
Application
I
will share Christ every chance I get. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, being chosen by You is something that I will never understand. My Mom
and my Dad never took me to church. I can only remember my Dad mentioning the
name Jesus when he got mad and cursed. When I was growing up my parents lived
like You did not really exist. Yet, in Your mercy and in your wonderful
kindness You allowed me to hear about Jesus and I gave my life to You. I don’t
deserve the privilege of having this relationship with You. It is an awesome
privilege, but I realize it is also a huge responsibility. I have been saved
for a purpose and that purpose is to share the Good News and to live in a way
that brings You glory and honor. Help me carry out that responsibility!
