Chosen of the Lord

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.
