THE CHOSEN OF THE LORD (1)

Text: Jonah 15:16

INTRODUCTION:

very saved child of God has been chosen by God for a purpose. 

But unfortunately today, many are not fulfilling the purpose for 

which God saved them. 

Today, as we study at His feet, may the Lord open our eyes to see 

the purpose for which He has chosen us in Jesus Name. 

1. HE CHOSE BECAUSE HE LOVED 

God loved us even before we knew Him. From the womb of our 

mother, He has chosen us and ordained us to be an instrument of 

honour to Him. 

Matt. 22:14, Jn. 3:16, Jer. 1:5, Isa. 49:1-3, I Jn. 4:10, 19, Ex. 19:5, 

Deut. 14:2, I Pet. 2:9, Lk. 1:17, Acts 15:14, ll Tim. 2:20-22, Rm. 

9:11-16, 21 

2. HE CHOSE THAT WE MIGHT BEAR FRUITS 

One of the reasons why God chose us is to bear fruits. He expects us 

to bear the fruit of repentance, holiness, fruits of the Holy Spirit and 

win souls for Christ. 

Matt. 3:8-9, Rom.7:4, 6:22, Heb. 12:11, Matt. 13:8, Phl. 4:17, Gal. 

5:22-23, Eph. 5:9-10, Mk. 16:15-16.
