Eph.1:3 Praise be to the God
and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who has blessed us in

Christ.
We are blessed by the
Father who selected us
(Ephesians 1:4-6)
Praise God for blessing us
Praise God for His Selection
Ephesians 1:4 For he chose
us in him before the creation of
the world to be holy and
blameless in his sight. In love
Praise God for His Selection
Eph.1:5-6 In love he
predestined us to be adopted
as his sons through Jesus
Christ, in accordance with his
pleasure and will— to the
praise of his glorious grace,
which he has freely given us in
the One he loves.
“Election means that the
existence of the people of
God can be explained only
on the basis of God’s
character, plan, and action,
not on some quality in the
people who are chosen.” –Klyne Snodgrass
Election & Predestination “To Foreknow” does not just
mean “to know” before the event
but “to choose” before
Rom. 11:1-2 Did God reject his
people? By no means! ...God did
not reject his people, whom he
foreknew.
Election & Predestination
1 Peter 1:18-20 For you know
that it was not with perishable
things…you were redeemed…
but with the precious blood of
Christ…He was chosen
(foreknown) before the creation
of the world, but was revealed
in these last times for your sake
Election & Predestination
Romans 3:11 …none seek after
God…”
Eph. 2:1 you were dead in your
transgressions and sins
John 6:44 No one can come to
Me, unless the Father who sent
Me draws him; and I will raise
him up on the last day
Election & Predestination Acts 16:14-15 Lydia…a God-
fearing woman, listened to us.
The Lord opened her heart to
respond to what Paul was saying.
After she and her household
were baptized, she urged us, “If
you consider me to be a believer
in the Lord, come and stay in my
house.”
Examples of Election &
Predestination
“Whosoever will” & “chosen”
Lydia - Acts 16:14-15
