Did you know that God choose you. You did not choose him?
God alone decides who will be His. He chooses who will see, who will hear, and who will receive the revelation of His truth. Salvation is not earned by intellect, emotion, or human choice. It is a divine act of mercy from a sovereign and holy God. This truth cuts deep because it shatters human pride. It exposes every illusion of control and reminds us that we contribute nothing to our redemption except the sin that made it necessary. Jesus spoke plainly in John 15, “You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit.” The power to come to Christ, to believe, to obey and to persevere all begins with God’s choosing. The world celebrates independence and self determination, but the Word reveals a far different reality. God is the One who calls, God is the One who opens the eyes of the blind and God is the One who reveals Himself to whom He wills.
Folks pause for a moment and ask yourself, why can I see what others cannot? Why can I see the truth while others mock and scoff? Jesus answered this in John 6, “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him.” That means salvation is not a human decision made at convenience. It is a supernatural drawing by the Father. Romans 9 confronts our pride again, “It does not depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy.” The Spirit must awaken the dead heart. The Father must open blind eyes. The Son must redeem. Salvation is not a self help moment. It is resurrection. Ezekiel 36 describes it perfectly, “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you.” God moves first, and man responds. Without that divine initiative, no one would come.
Understand folks that even the ability to understand Scripture is a gift given only to those whom God has chosen. In Matthew 13, Jesus said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.” These words reveal a painful truth. Not everyone belongs to Him. Jesus said in John 10, “You do not believe because you are not of My sheep. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” Many fill church pews and profess faith with their lips, yet remain deaf to the Shepherd’s call because they were never His. They quote verses they do not truly understand, for as 1 Corinthians 2 explains, “The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them because they are spiritually discerned.” Let this truth pierce your heart. Belonging to Christ is not about attendance, knowledge, or upbringing. It is about divine election and spiritual rebirth. Only those whom the Father has drawn, the Spirit has awakened, and the Son has redeemed will ever truly see, hear, and follow Him.
Bottom line, if you're able to understand this truth be thankful that you can. Many reading this will not be able to. If this resonates with you, fall on your face and give God all the glory and thanks for His mercy.
