According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: - Ephesians 1:4.

The intent and purpose of God in creation; has always been to place a part of Himself in the unique creation (the born again), He created for Himself to live and dwell and share in His Own glory!

All of life comes out of the one purpose.

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. - Ephesians 1:6.

That has happened by the one Son in you. Your circumstances and situations in the world (the C and S gang) is not what God is doing, not ultimately - but it is how He brings about His intention in you.

Your story.. your journey.. your walk.. is how we referr to each other as believers. But all those things do not really start until you see His original intent and purpose for creation.. before the foundation of the world! can you see that.

Our walk in the spirit comes only in understanding the deepest thing in God to be known! which is; Christ in you the hope of glory!

The mystery revealed in you - to you - as the only life that a believer has.

To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: - Colossians 1:27.

Being born again puts you into the spiritual Kingdom of God, because you become "one with God"..."in Christ".

The OP's thread, the first verse posted says that God has chosen us 'in Him".

See that? That is not the unbelievers or the water baptized... but, this is the "churh" the bride of Christ," .....and their becoming chosen, is not God forcing them to be born again, but its by adopting them as a Son of God, "in Him"..."In Christ".....based on the person doing this...

"the Will of GOD, is that you BELIEVE ON JESUS ...whom God sent".

So, when you do that.....you become "in Him", and God knows who will from the foundation of the world.

Always remember, reader, that God knows what you will do, including if you are going to Trust Christ or not, before you are born, but knowing what you will do, is not the same as causing you to do it.

Knowing is not causing.
Knowing , is God's Foreknowledge....which is simply that fact that God knows everything at all times about everything.

He knows you came here today, before you were born.......but He didn't cause you to come here today, or tomorrow.

See that? That is KNOWING but not causing.

Reader, what are you thinking about right now?
Let me prove that God does not cause you to think, or to choose.
Ready?

Watch..

In your mind i want you to see a blue elephant.....its a baby elephant. Its blue. The mother is pink, and she is angry at the blue baby elephant because the little blue baby elephant, wont eat his dog food that is in a white bowl.

See all that?
See the white bowl full of dog food? See the blue baby elephant ?? See the Pink Mother Elephant, and she is angry?
See it?

Now, i just caused you to think that.. all of that.
Am i God?

So, never think that God is causing everything, and you have no free will, and those who tell you that God chooses some for hell, and does not provide the Cross of Christ for everyone......these are among the worst type of satanically deceived heretics.

Enjoy your Elephants....
