God chooses and we have choices. He is sovereign and we have free will. In the old testament, Israel chose to reject God, so he chose to send his son to redeem us from sin. When Jesus came, he did so as a suffering servant, not a conquering king. As a result, God’s chosen people look different than whats expected. 

Our greatest desire is to be chosen by someone who is far more wonderful than we could imagine. Infatuation flirts with the object of its affection, but true love longs to be with the one it has chosen. Jesus made a decision to die for the undeserving so he could satisfy our hearts desire to be chosen by God. It was Jesus desire to glorify God and satisfy our debt by making the decision to die for the undeserving. So what does a chosen person’s life look like? How do we live like were chosen?  amenpodcast.com/donate
