Were You Chosen by God Before the World Began?

Were you chosen by God before the world even began? In this devotion from **Words From The Word**, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians 1:4 (KJV) — *"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"* — and carefully walks us through one of the most profound truths in all of Scripture: God's election and what it really means for your salvation.You might be asking…- Does being chosen mean I have no choice in coming to Christ?- Was Israel's election the same as personal salvation?- How does John 3:16 fit together with the doctrine of election?- What does it mean that God "drew" me to Himself?**Key points from this devotion:**- 📖 Election is God choosing us to be His *before we existed*- 📖 There are three types of election in Scripture: national (Israel), vocational (e.g., the Levites, the apostles), and salvational- 📖 Being of Israel by birth does not guarantee personal salvation (Romans 9:6–7)- 📖 God draws sinners to Christ apart from any merit in man (John 6:44)- 📖 The promise still stands — *whosoever believeth* shall have everlasting life (John 3:16)👍 Like, 💬 comment, 🔁 share, and **subscribe** to stay encouraged by God's Word every day!#WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #GoodNewsBaptistChurchStay connected with GNBC:🌐 Website: www.gnbcnetwork.org📻 Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/0cJVbqsER3JsmCutovjVYH
