“he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight”             Ephesians 1:4 (NIV) 

The Above Graphic is a picture of  God choosing you, not from among other people, but from among the infinite possibilities that God had to chose from when he made you. This is mind boggling. When I think about the implications from what we now know about the odds of even surviving beyond conception, it’s incredible that God has given you and me the gift of existence! 

Out of all the possibilities that God had to choose from, He created you, sustained you, and brought you to this point, place, time, and life context in human history. You are an incredibly blessed person. Not only that but God chose you before the big bang 14 billion years ago. It’s beyond my comprehension how this could possibly be true now that we know so much about what’s happened over all that time, but so it is.  

To be holy and blameless? Yes, even that. Through the cross Jesus has made you so. “in his sight”. If you’ve chosen to receive His forgiveness, God sees you as a young dad sees his sleeping child . . . .innocent, holy, and blameless (even though he’s a terror by day!)
