Even before creating the universe, and even before making you and me, God the Father had already planned in Christ to make us His sons and daughters. And through the sacrifice of His Son, God has fulfilled this plan by making all who believe in the gospel of the water and the Spirit completely sinless in their hearts.
That God chose us does not mean that He arbitrarily selected some people but not others as some theologians claim; rather, its precise meaning is that God chose us in Christ. All human beings have come short of the glory of God, for all have sinned, however, when God the Father created us, He already knew that we would commit sin out of our weaknesses.
Knowing that human beings would fall into sin because of their weaknesses, God sent His Son to this earth to accept all their sins through His baptism and sacrificed Himself for them by being crucified, so that all who believe in this Son’s righteous acts would be made forever sinless in their hearts and become God’s children without any blemish or spot. This was God’s plan for us.
