“For this is how God loved the world: He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16 NLT)
Why did God choose you?
The answer is at once simple and profound. He chose you because He wanted to. After all, you are His. He made you. He brought you home. He owns you. And if you've never heard Him assuring you of that simple fact, be reminded by the words on this page. Let these words resonate in your heart: the God who created you loves you. He made the ultimate sacrifice because of you. No, God doesn't need you. He wants you. So, what do we do with this gift? What does it have to do with our daily existence?
It has everything to do with it. Our task on earth is singular -- to choose our eternal home. You can afford many wrong choices in life. You can choose the wrong career and survive, the wrong city and survive, the wrong house and survive. You can even choose the wrong mate and survive. But there is one choice that must be made correctly and that is your eternal destiny.
-- Max Lucado in “The Gift for All People”
