Elected As God's Children

 God knows the end from the beginning. He knows before the foundation of the world the choices that every man and woman will make with regard to their salvation. God knew Your choice, and He knew mine before we were even born.  We who, at some point in our life, have chosen to accept His gift of salvation, were Elected As God's Children before the foundation of the world.
God has given every man and woman the right to choose their eternal destiny, either faith in Christ as Savior OR rejection of the One Who died for their sins and rose to give life to all who would believe in His name.
 God knows those who through their free-will choice will trust in the death, burial, and Resurrection of Christ for salvation during their lifetime on earth, and it is because God is omniscient that He knows ahead of time the choices each one of us will make.
 God elects everyone who by faith choose to trust in Christ for salvation.
 Having been saved by faith, let us confirm our election and our calling by walking in spirit and truth, and trusting in the unchanging Word of God so that we will live our lives as He intended and produce fruit to His praise and glory. 
  The more we know God's Word, the more we trust His Word. The more we trust His Word, the more we become secure in our election, our calling, and our eternal heritage in Christ.
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble,

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that there is nothing we can do to be saved but believe in the finished work of Christ on the Cross. Thank You that once we are saved, we cannot be plucked out of Your hand but we can live our lives in a  manner that honors You and shows spiritual fruit. We pray that as we walk in faith, the truth of our salvation becomes the greatest reality in our lives as, day by day, Christ is being formed in us. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
