To think that we, in our state of hopelessness and worthlessness, were chosen, made alive by His death for us and His blood that was shed for us, and were given a purpose in this life to bring about the glorification of God and the unification of all things in Him, is a truth that we cannot possibly hope to grasp! God chose us, in our filth and our Total depravity, before the foundation of the earth, Unconditionally- for we can do and were not able to do anything to save ourselves, as Gods people, as a Limited portion of the world that He has chosen by His Irresistable grace (for even if God chose one man out of the world to give life and a purpose for His glory, this would be a miracle unimaginable, though He has chosen many out of every generation, in His love for us!) to strive until our death, for the kingdom of Heaven, never ceasing in the Perseverance of our faith , by our faith and for that which we have faith in- Jesus Christ- against the powers of evil. All this is because of Jesus. All because of God. All made possible only by Him and Him alone. Praise God! Praise God today! Ephesians 1:3-14 3 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, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us[b] for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8 which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known[c] to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth. https://youtube/watch?v=ehACVLz2l-A
