God Chose You to Live Out His Love

We are loved by God. We are in God’s love. We are provided by God’s love.

“¹⁶You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you.” – John 15:16 (ESV)

You can see that we are children of God because he picked us. We were chosen to be his. There a responsibility that comes with God’s choice of us. We should be obeying and working for God and those actions allow us to ask for needs and Gods will give them to us.

It may be hard to believe that God chose each one of us. He has given the gift of salvation to us by choice and all we have to do is accept. Once we have accepted the gift, we have been made heirs to the rewards of heaven. Once we are heirs, we then have the responsibility to act as heirs in the manner of God.

God’s love is for us and we have only to accept it. He chose us to have his gift and in repayment he only asks of us the below:

“⁹As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.” – John 15:9 (ESV)

We are to take solace in God’s love. We are to love as he loves. We are to be the example of God here for others to see.

When you are in the world, are you bearing fruit? Have you accepted the gift of salvation that God has given to us? Are you working to live out God’s love?
