We may know that God chooses his people, but how in the world do we choose God?

Tomorrow morning we will be continuing our study of Deuteronomy by looking at our second purpose statement: 'We must choose God.' Last week we looked at how God chooses his people and the implications thereof. Tomorrow we will seek to understand our responsibility in all of this, for man is a responsible being with his own will. What do you think about this? What do you know the BIble says about us choosing God? Do you think it's biblical? Why or why not? And if so, then what does that mean for your life and the life of everyone else?

Sunday School Highlights

This past Sunday we continued our journey through the book of Deuteronomy. We began to explore the first section of the book's summary statement 'God chooses His people, His people must choose Him.' Therefore, we studied the first aspect of how God chose the Israelites as His special people. It wasn't because of their righteousness but out of His love for them. Remember what kind of people they were? They were insignificant to the world, they were slaves turned vagabonds wondering in the desert. They were small and stiff-necked. All more the reason for God to turn from them, but no. He embraced them with love and showered them with grace. Just think of our own salvation. Each one of us has a past, has a history, has string of issues that follow us each day. That past tells us that we are like the Israelites, undeserving of the Lord's grace and love. Just take some time and meditate upon these verses, Eph. 1:3-4. What comes to your mind?
