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

2. RED ROVER, RED ROVER…

3. MANY ARE CALLED, BUT…

4. 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

5. 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

6. 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
