1 | "You did not choose Me" | John 15:16 | kalos | 131945 | ||
"You did not choose Me" "You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you." (NASB John 15:16 ) "He chose us in Christ" Even as [in His love] He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love. (AMPLIFIED Ephesians 1:4 ) But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth. (NASB 2 Thessalonians 2:13 b) * * * * * * * * * * * * 1 Pet 1:2 Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ: Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied. 'Election, Summary: In both Testaments the Hebrew and Greek words are rendered "elect," "election," "choose," "chosen." In all cases they mean, simply, "chosen," or "to choose"; and are used of both human and divine choices. '(1) In the latter use [divine choices] election is: (a) corporate, as of the nation of Israel, or the church Isaiah 45:4 and (b) individual 1 Peter 1:2. '(2) Election is according to the foreknowledge of God 1 Peter 1:2 and wholly of grace, apart from human merit ; Romans 9:11 ; 11:5,6. '(3) Election proceeds from the divine volition John 15:16. 'Election is, therefore: '(1) The sovereign act of God in grace whereby certain are chosen from among mankind for Himself. John 15:19 . '(2) The sovereign act of God whereby certain elect persons are chosen for distinctive service for Him. Luke 6:13 ; Acts 9:15; 1 Corinthians 1:27,28.' Bibliography Information Scofield, C.I.

2 | "You did not choose Me" | John 15:16 | Rowdy | 133190 | ||
In contrast, I would offer the following: John 8:31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, "If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; John 8:32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." John 8:33 They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, 'You will become free'?" John 8:34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. John 8:35 "The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. John 8:36 "So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. and Acts 13:38 "Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, Acts 13:39 and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses. There's a lot more scripture on this subject so I encourage you to get the WHOLE picture from God, with special emphasis on the NT. God bless. Rowdy |
