We read in the book of James 2: 5
"My beloved brothers, hear: Has God not chosen the poor of this world, to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him?" Reina-Valera 1960 (RVR1960).
All of us set goals in this life and aspire for things to grow socially and intellectually, just as we aspire to be the first in the class or to be called from a prestigious institution when we have become professional, we always aspire to an election and dream of that moment. of our life.
In our childhood when we were chosen to give us a prize for our qualifications or when our parents called us to give us a gift our hearts overflowed with joy, because we felt we were important because we had been chosen to give us something significant.
In the same way we continue to act when we are selected, for example, from a company and qualify among several people, we feel the same joy simply because they have chosen us among many.
However, many do not understand that God also chose us among many to be heirs of his kingdom.
Can you imagine that some earthly king chooses you to give you some inheritance or reward? I think you would go out of joy, because I want to tell you that God has chosen us to give us his throne to give us faith and life in abundance.
What is your position regarding this promise? _ Do you know that it was not you who chose God, but He chose you? _ That does not give you joy? _ Because I think you should feel privileged that the owner and creator of the universe our eternal God has chosen you before a large crowd.
The Bible teaches us the truth of this promise also in the following verses:
Psalm 100: 3
3 Recognize that Jehovah is God;
He made us, and not we ourselves;
We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Reina Valera 1960 (RVR1960)
Here is an acknowledgment to God about our creator as well as the declaration of our choice, we are his chosen people and that is more than enough to thank God for so much love.
“My embryo saw your eyes, and in your book were written all those things that were then formed, without missing one of them. How precious are your thoughts to me, God! How great is the sum of them! ”Psalm 139: 16-17.
In addition, our God loved us before we were born and chose us as his children to inherit his kingdom.
