Were you chosen by God before the world began? That is the heart of today's devotion with Pastor Roderick Webster on Words From The Word, the daily devotional series from Good News Baptist Church in Sint Maarten.

Drawing from passages including John 6, 1 Peter 1:20, John 15:16, Ephesians 2:4-5, Romans 8:15, and Colossians 2:10 (KJV), Pastor Webster walks us through the powerful biblical truth of election — what it means, when it happened, why God did it, and what it means for you today.

You might be asking:

- Does God really choose people, and what does that mean for me?

- Was this decision made before I was even born?

- Why would God elect anyone — what motivated Him?

- What do I actually receive as a result of being chosen by God?

Key points from this devotion:

- Election is biblical — angels, Christ, the apostles, and the church are all described as elect

- God chose us before the foundation of the world, not because of anything we did

- The motive behind election is God's great love for us

- The result of election is adoption — we are His children

- The goal of it all is God's glory

Did God choose you, or did you choose God? That is one of the most searched and debated questions in all of Scripture, and in this devotion Pastor Roderick Webster opens the Bible to help us see what God actually says.

Drawing from passages including Joshua 24:15, Isaiah 1:18, Matthew 11:28-30, John 5:40, John 6:37, Romans 9:11, and Revelation 22:17 (KJV), Pastor Webster walks through both sides of a truth the Bible holds together without apology — the sincere invitation to every person to come, and the sovereign election of God that calls His own to Himself.

You might be asking:

- If God already chose who would be saved, does my choice even matter?

- Does the Bible really teach predestination?

- Why does Jesus keep saying "come" if salvation is already decided?

- What does "whosoever will" actually mean?

Key points from this devotion:

- God issues a compelling invitation to every person to respond to Him

- Joshua, Isaiah, John the Baptist, and Jesus all called people to choose and to come

- Scripture also clearly teaches that God foreknew and predestined those who believe

- Both truths — human responsibility and divine election — are taught side by side in the Word

- Your response to the gospel matters, and God promises He will not cast away anyone who comes

Were you chosen by God before the world even began? In this devotion from **Words From The Word**, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians 1:4 (KJV) — *"According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love"* — and carefully walks us through one of the most profound truths in all of Scripture: God's election and what it really means for your salvation.

You might be asking…

- Does being chosen mean I have no choice in coming to Christ?

- Was Israel's election the same as personal salvation?

- How does John 3:16 fit together with the doctrine of election?

- What does it mean that God "drew" me to Himself?

**Key points from this devotion:**

- 📖 Election is God choosing us to be His *before we existed*

- 📖 There are three types of election in Scripture: national (Israel), vocational (e.g., the Levites, the apostles), and salvational

- 📖 Being of Israel by birth does not guarantee personal salvation (Romans 9:6–7)

- 📖 God draws sinners to Christ apart from any merit in man (John 6:44)

- 📖 The promise still stands — *whosoever believeth* shall have everlasting life (John 3:16)
