I AM CHOSEN Romans 8:29-20; 33-34

RED ROVER, RED ROVER…

MANY ARE CALLED, BUT…

CALLED OR CHOSEN Called is to be invited without implying immediate obedience to the call – no RSVP Chosen is to be selected or picked out by someone else God chooses to select us as we chose to respond to the call i.e. we are CHOSEN

CHALLENGED, BUT CHOSEN The Accuser – past, false report, rumors, and innuendoes The Condemner – put down, judge, abuse, demean Being CHOSEN evokes jealousy, scrutiny, persecution, but mostly accusation and condemnation

I AM CHOSEN Paul’s answer to how we respond: Know that we are in a right standing with God Know that we are alive in Christ Know that EVERYTHING works for our good
