Of course God has chosen me. The question is, "Have I chosen Him?" Do I live the life that He wants me to live, do I follow Him, would I choose death rather than deny Him, do I take up my cross and follow Him? That is the question. Remember, Jesus said that if we deny Him, He would deny us before the Father. He also said that if we saw the hungry and did not feed them we were doing it to Him. There are many ways to deny Jesus, and I am trying not to do them.

When did he make that decision? Was it before you were born, before the foundation of the earth, or did he have to sit back and wait for you to either get baptized or to make some decision in adulthood?

The bible says that those who whave been chosen have been chosen before the foundation of the earth. Do you believe that? If so, then how is God's choice to save you any different from God's choice to save Mary?

The question is, "Have I chosen Him?"

Really? If God chose you can you veto his choice? Or is his choice the final say?

Is your salvation dependent upon the things you do or is it wholly dependent upon God's mercy?
