More than They Could Ever Deserve!
God Loved His People Before They Loved Him.
1 Chronicles 16:34 "The LORD's love endures forever."
Even before God had created the world, He loved His people. Even back then, He knew them, inside and out. He knew that they, like all people He would create, would rebel against Him. Yet even still, He loved them with the tenderest, deepest of loves. And though their sins meant they would deserve eternal punishment, He chose to set His love upon them in a special way. He chose to send Jesus at just the right time to pay for their sins. He chose that by the Holy Spirit, He would give them faith in Him and new hearts to love and obey Him. They would be His special people, a countless number from every language and people on earth, who would live to enjoy His fellowship and sing the praises of His amazing love and mercy forever.
Ephesians 1:4-5 “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 through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will.”
