3 Praise
be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the

world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love
Do you realize that you are special to someone?
Even if you never felt special to your mom and dad, you are extremely
special in the eyes of God!
Max Lucado put it this way: “God is crazy about you. If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If God had a wallet, your picture would be in it. Whenever you would talk, He would listen. And you might go days without thinking of Him, but there would never be a moment when He would not be thinking of you.”
Isn’t this a cool thought? And I believe it’s true! I do believe that we who are in Christ are God’s special people!
I Peter 2:9 “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." NIV
A chosen people! Royal, holy, a people belonging to God and it’s all because of Jesus. We are God’s chosen people because of Christ.
Paul explains our chosen position in Christ in this text.
1- We are chosen in Christ
2- We were chosen in Christ before the world
3- We were chosen in Christ for a purpose
