1 PETER 1:2
"God the Father knew you and CHOSE YOU long ago, and His Spirit has made you Holy."
God is omnipotent. That means that He knows all things and everything. It is not surprising that God knew you, in fact He knew you before you were in your mother's womb. God even knows your name and everything about you personally. After all He is your Father and you are His child. God had foreknowledge of your accepting Him as your Lord and Saviour. God knew that you would be obedient to Jesus Christ, the Messiah, and you would be sprinkled with His blood. You were consecrated, sanctified and made Holy by His Spirit. You were chosen and foreknown.
Now you will be spiritually blessed with His grace. He will give you His grace and peace in increasing abundance. You can be free from fears, agitations, and moral conflicts as a result of your being in Christ Jesus. You are one of the elect, or chosen and now God's Spirit has made you Holy. Your desire will be to obey Jesus Christ. Your reason for living is now clear. It is to worship, praise, know and love Jesus Christ the Lord God. We will continually Praise the Lord!
God knows everyone and so the question is why have some been saved and some lost? This truth for today is important to differentiate and distinguish between the saved and the unsaved. Everyone is given the same opportunity to "come to the Lord". You are given a free will and free choice by God the Father. You choose whether or not you will believe in Him and open the door to your heart and ask Jesus to come in and dwell with you. Some choose to do so and some choose not to do so. God is Omnipotent and He knows in advance and even before you are born whether or not you will accept or reject Him. That is how He knows who the chosen are! They are the ones who have CHOSEN Him. What is your choice?
