Even before we became Christians, we wondered, "Why were we chosen?

We…even before becoming Christians, we wondered, "Why were we chosen?" 🤔❓️
…When God created humankind, He created them in His own image, giving them the "free will" to judge, decide, and choose for themselves.
…He never created us like robots!
…As it says, God chose you…even before the foundation of the world was laid!
The purpose of that choice…🤔
It was to make you "holy and blameless before Him."
…It means being molded into the likeness of Christ.
Being transformed into the likeness of Christ, that is one of the purposes of the choice.
…God has written about everything from the beginning of the world to the end of it in the Bible.
…"God's choice"…🤔
Ultimately, God knows that you will persevere in your faith to the very end.
…And what's more, at the climax of the end times…😨.

…In relay race terms…you are the anchor runner🏃‍♀️.

The anchor runner🏃‍♀️…carries the weight of many expectations…and runs🏃💨

…The finish line is near🎊

…As the final runner🏃, run through this race of faith.

Shalom😃
