Scripture Notes on 2 Thessalonians 2
God chose you as the firstfruits to be saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. To this He called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Thessalonians 2:13-14)
Christian, never forget that God chose you.
You did not draw His attention by your efforts; He simply loved you by His grace.
You did not earn His favor by your merit; He simply called you by His mercy.
You did not convince Him with your potential; He simply pursued you because He loves you.
This means that in Christ, there’s nothing to earn, nothing to prove, and nothing to fear!
Not only that, but God saved you for a good purpose and a great destiny. He chose you to become not a slave, but a son or daughter, not a laborer, but an heir of the Kingdom.
So, if you’re in Christ you can rest in this liberating truth.
God chose you for glory.
