God chose us to belong to Christ before the world was created. He chose us to be holy and without blame in his eyes. He loved us.So he decided long ago to adopt us. He adopted us as his children with all the rights children have. He did it because of what Jesus Christ has done. It pleased God to do it.

“ Before I formed you in your mother’s body I chose you. Before you were born I set you apart to serve me. I appointed you to be a prophet to the nations.”

We were also chosen to belong to him. God decided to choose us long ago in keeping with his plan. He works out everything to fit his plan and purpose.

God has saved us. He has chosen us to live a holy life. It wasn’t because of anything we have done. It was because of his own purpose and grace. Through Christ Jesus, God gave us this grace even before time began.

He was chosen before God created the world. But he came into the world for your sake in these last days.

Many people who live on the earth will worship the beast. They are the ones whose names are not written in the Lamb’s book of life. The Lamb is the one whose death was planned before the world was created.

But God’s solid foundation stands firm. Here is the message written on it.“ The Lord knows who his own people are.”( Numbers 16:5) Also,“ All who say they believe in the Lord must turn away from evil.”

You have been chosen in keeping with what God the Father had planned. That happened through the Spirit’s work to make you pure and holy. God chose you so that you might obey Jesus Christ. God wanted you to be in a covenant relationship with him. He established this relationship by the blood of Christ. May more and more grace and peace be given to you.

No, we announce God’s wisdom. His wisdom is a mystery that has been hidden. But before time began, God planned that his wisdom would bring us heavenly glory.

We are like the earthly man. And we will be like the heavenly man.

What if he put up with them to show the riches of his glory to other people? Those other people are the ones he shows his mercy to. He made them to receive his glory.

Dear friends, now we are children of God. He still hasn’t let us know what we will be. But we know that when Christ appears, we will be like him. That’s because we will see him as he really is.

The Son is the exact likeness of God, who can’t be seen. The Son is first, and he is over all creation.All things were created in him. He created everything in heaven and on earth. He created everything that can be seen and everything that can’t be seen. He created kings, powers, rulers and authorities. All things have been created by him and for him.Before anything was created, he was already there. He holds everything together.And he is the head of the body, which is the church. He is the beginning. He is the first to be raised from the dead. That happened so that he would be far above everything.

God didn’t turn his back on his people. After all, he chose them. Don’t you know what Scripture says about Elijah? He complained to God about Israel.

None of our faces are covered with a veil. All of us can see the Lord’s glory and think deeply about it. So we are being changed to become more like him so that we have more and more glory. And this glory comes from the Lord, who is the Holy Spirit.

I have given them the glory you gave me. I did this so they would be one, just as we are one.I will be in them, just as you are in me. This is so that they may be brought together perfectly as one. Then the world will know that you sent me. It will also show the world that you have loved those you gave me, just as you have loved me.

He has the power to bring everything under his control. By his power he will change our earthly bodies. They will become like his glorious body.

They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to it.

You were taught to start living a new life. It is created to be truly good and holy, just as God is.

The Lord said to Moses,“ I will do exactly what you have asked. I am pleased with you. And I know your name. I know all about you.”

Moses said to the Lord,“ You have been telling me,‘ Lead these people.’ But you haven’t let me know whom you will send with me. You have said,‘ I know your name. I know all about you. And I am pleased with you.’

Anyone who does what my Father in heaven wants is my brother or sister or mother.”

God never said to any of the angels,“ You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.”( Psalm 2:7) Or,“ I will be his Father. And he will be my Son.”( 2 Samuel 7:14; 1 Chronicles 17:13)God’s first and only Son is over all things. When God brings him into the world, he says,“ Let all God’s angels worship him.”( Deuteronomy 32:43)

May grace and peace come to you from Jesus Christ. He is the faithful witness, so what he has shown can be trusted. He was the first to rise from the dead. He rules over the kings of the earth. Glory and power belong to Jesus Christ who loves us! He has set us free from our sins by pouring out his blood for us.He has made us members of his royal family. He has made us priests who serve his God and Father. Glory and power belong to Jesus Christ for ever and ever! Amen.

The Lord watches over the lives of godly people. But the lives of sinful people will lead to their death.

I have shown you to them. And I will continue to show you to them. Then the love you have for me will be in them. I myself will be in them.”

Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ as if he were your clothing. Don’t think about how to satisfy sinful desires.

Jesus said,“ Do not hold on to me. I have not yet ascended to the Father. Instead, go to those who believe in me. Tell them,‘ I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ”

I make myself holy for them so that they too can be made holy by the truth.

And Jesus, who makes people holy, and the people he makes holy belong to the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters.He says,“ I will announce your name to my brothers and sisters. I will sing your praises among those who worship you.”( Psalm 22:22)Again he says,“ I will put my trust in him.”( Isaiah 8:17) And again he says,“ Here I am. Here are the children God has given me.”( Isaiah 8:18)Those children have bodies made out of flesh and blood. So Jesus became human like them in order to die for them. By doing this, he could break the power of the devil. The devil is the one who rules over the kingdom of death.Jesus could set people free who were afraid of death. All their lives they were held as slaves by that fear.

Then I will tell them clearly,‘ I never knew you. Get away from me, you who do evil!’

I will also make him my oldest son. Among all the kings of the earth, he will be the most important one.

“ The King will reply,‘ What I’m about to tell you is true. Anything you did for one of the least important of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
