Ephesians 1:4 (AMP)

[4]just as [in His love] He chose us in Christ [actually selected us for Himself as His own] before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy [that is, consecrated, set apart for Him, purpose-driven] and blameless in His sight. In love

This is why you hear the saying so many times that we’ve won lotto. Of all the billions of people that have lived and will live, God called you to salvation. We can’t come unless God selects and invites us; there’s nothing to compare that to. That’s when a wonderful, supernatural change happens internally with no explanation other than - just God and the cross. It’s what happened that day on that cross. The , what happened after 3 days is what causes this blessing that makes us preach the gospel and love God ever more. It’s love that’s purpose driven. We should pray that every breath we take we use it to fall in love with this gentle, perfect Messiah. Now you’re living life.

Today we read: Isaiah 21-23, Psalm 91
