Chosen By Him
“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.” John 15:16
Jesus’ choice to appoint us is not based on our own merit but rather, His own divine plan.
He has called us to a life of bearing fruit that will endure and has empowered us to make requests in his name, confident that the Father will answer.
This is a testament to the great love and trust Jesus has in us as his disciples.
He chooses us!
He wants us to be fruitful and bear long-lasting fruit. He does not choose us because we are special. He chooses us so that He may be glorified through doing what He has appointed us to do.
The things He appoints us for can not be done without Him, so they will always bring glory to Him.
May we strive to live up to this calling and bring honor to his name through the fruit we bear. Amen.
God has called you to bear fruit that will bring glory to His name.
What has He called you to?
Are you relying on Him or trying to do it on your own strength?
