Nearly 200,000 copies sold! Chosen by God by Dr. R. C. Sproul is a contemporary classic on predestination, a doctrine that isn’t just for Calvinists. It is a doctrine for all biblical Christians. In this updated and expanded edition of Chosen by God, Sproul shows that the doctrine of predestination doesn’t create a whimsical or spiteful picture of God, but rather paints a portrait of a loving God who provides redemption for radically corrupt humans. We choose God because he has opened our eyes to see his beauty; we love him because he first loved us. There is mystery in God’s ways, but not contradiction.
The #1 bestseller in New Testament Commentaries. Over 200,000 copies sold! This is the official companion study to season 1 of The Chosen, the groundbreaking television series about the life of Jesus. What Does It Mean to Be Chosen? parallels each episode, connecting readers to the Bible in a brand-new way. It includes: A deeper look at Isaiah 43 and its fulfillment in Jesus and the lives of His followers (including us!) Script excerpts, quotes, and illustrations from the show Guiding questions for groups or individuals Being chosen by Jesus has beautiful and far-reaching implications—although it says even more about the Chooser than the choosees. We are loved because He is love. We are saved because He is merciful. We belong to the family of God because Jesus invites us, making the Bible and all its promises as true for us today as it was for God’s chosen people. What does it actually mean to be Chosen? To answer that question, we’re going Old school—Testament that is—which leads us back to the New. Which always leads us directly to Jesus.
When you think of being chosen, does your mind go back to recess days on that schoolyard playground long ago, when Teacher asked the two biggest boys in the class to choose up teams? Remember how the rest of you lined up, dutifully waiting for your name to be called? And remember how you stood there, nervously holding your breath, shifting your weight from one sneaker to the other, hoping against hope that this time you'd be chosen? Good news. You have been chosen! Maybe not for the starting lineup on your school's basketball team or for the next promotion at work. But your calling is much more extraordinary For "you are a chosen people, . . . a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light" (1 Peter 2:9, NIV). Who is this God who has chosen you? Why have you been chosen? And how are the chosen to live? Join Dwight K. Nelson in an experience with God that will revolutionize your life as you stand where the chosen of old once stood on the brink of the Promised Land
WHOLE WITH JESUS MINISTRIES PUBLICATION To join our BLOG, view a VIDEO PRESENTATION or for a LOOK INSIDE, go to the Book's HomePage: www.wholewithjesus.com/CCFTrending. All Glory, Honour and Power be unto our Lord Jesus and unto our Father in Heaven by whose Spirit this Book has materialized. Only God knew this is the right time for release of certain content that will disrupt the creeping, anti-Christic deceptions in our day. Unplanned and unexpected, the Holy Spirit has led the assignment to write this Book as another instrument that undermines the control of twisted doctrine and false messiahs claiming to be chosen, and advances the agenda of the Kingdom of the living God. Certainly, an important benefit from the Book is you will grow to better understand that God has deliberately chosen you for special communion for all eternity. Biblical texts substantiate that such is set in motion when we receive JESUS as our eternal LEADER and honour Him in this Office. Essentially, when you acknowledge that you are of God, with His guidance, you will experience progressive success in all areas of life. Perhaps you already function in the gifts, skills or talents that are natural to you and perhaps you are completing the assignments God intended. However, if you are working your assignments without consciously connecting them to your living Father, His intervention that would maximize your potential and outcomes could be absent. In other words, operating in your assignments without acknowledging that your abilities and achievements are from God translates into weakened potential or, in several cases, misguided use of skill and talent. Furthermore, The Called; The Chosen; The Faithful will equip you in these times with the essential knowledge you need to hold fast to KING JESUS as the only one chosen to lead us in Heaven and earth. After your read, therefore, you cannot easily be captivated and hoodwinked into following any anti-Christic movement or personage. You will definitively and perceptively know when something or someone is not of God in Heaven and be able to better protect and fortify yourself, loved ones and others with whom you have influence. In fact, you will expressly reject those with cultish, elite teachings that exclude and divide peoples and nations into false religions and societies that cultivate distorted mindsets. When the controversy arises as to who God chooses, you will be able to respond with clarity and to rightly explain the true meaning of Matthew 22:14: “For many are called but few are chosen”, two phrases that have consistently been misunderstood and misapplied. You will also gain insight into God's Master Plan for the earth that encompasses all people—those who have ever lived; those living today and to live in the future. From this perspective you will increase awareness of the Kingdom of God in its operation here and now and into which you perfectly fit. All in all, The Called; The Chosen; The Faithful is a fantastic, evangelistic tool not only from the view of explaining essential principals of the Bible, but also to further enable the Body of Christ to effectively share the Gospel of Lord Jesus. It can even be additional inspiration to those who are indecisive about receiving the Lord and especially to those still confused about eligibility for and entrance to Heaven. This Book is intended to be among others that focus on the truth of the Supreme Office of Jesus Christ who lovingly provides what we need, informs all that we are and the levels to which we will excel if we allow Him into our lives. And, it is intended to open eyes to the truths of our glorious heritage in Him, particularly in this season of environmental and economic instability where His presence and guidance make an outstanding difference.
