You
did not Choose Me,
But I
Chose you
To go
and Bear Fruit.
(John
15:16)
For He
Chose us In Him
Before
the creation of the World
To be
Holy and Blameless in His sight.
In
Love He Predestined us
To be
Adopted as His sons (and daughters)
Through
Jesus Christ,
In
accordance with His Pleasure and Will--
To the
Praise of His Glorious Grace,
Which
He has Freely given us
In the
One He Loves.
In Him
we have Redemption through His blood,
The
Forgiveness of Sins,
In
accordance with the Riches of God's Grace
That
He Lavished on us
With
all Wisdom and Understanding.
And He
made known to us
THE
MYSTERY OF HIS WILL
According
to His Good Pleasure,
Which
He Purposed In Christ,
To be
put into Effect
WHEN
THE TIMES WILL HAVE REACHED THEIR FULFILLMENT--
TO
BRING ALL THINGS IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH
TOGETHER
UNDER ONE HEAD, EVEN CHRIST.
(Ephesians
1:410)
