God didn’t call animals to fulfill the law. No, he sent his son, his only son, Jesus, as the perfect Lamb of God, to fulfill the old law. He sent him in the form of a man. From the foundations of the world, God chose you as an adopted son, or daughter of his royal lineage. It’s your choice, whether you accept or reject that offer. It’s not one to take lightly, for it comes with some service responsibility. But knowing he has made available a way to eternal life with him, gives us tremendous peace. We are chosen not just for salvation, if we except it and receive it, but also for a life of being overcomer’s and conquerors of this world. There are many doctrines on this topic, but the essential truth is that God said you and I are worth sending his best, his son, Jesus, to redeem us, if we would only choose to accept it, and leave it with the power of his spirit in us. You’ve been chosen. Who will you choose?
Heavenly father, thank you for choosing me. Today, I want to respond to your demonstration of love to me by daily surrendering myself as a living sacrifice. My choice to follow you is a direct response of your love influencing my life. Amen.
Be careful now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong and do it.
First, Chronicles, 28:10
