The Church as the Elect
God's election is one of the most beautiful mysteries of the Christian faith. The Greek word for "chose," eklegomai, means to select or set apart for a specific purpose. Even before the creation of the world, God had already set us apart for Himself. This choice was not based on our merits or works, but solely on His sovereign love. We were chosen to be holy, which means set apart for God, consecrated for a divine purpose.
Holiness, in Greek hagios, does not just refer to a high morality but to a life dedicated to God, distinct from the world. Additionally, we are called to be blameless (in Greek ámōmos), without fault or blemish before God. This condition is only possible because of the redemptive work of Christ, who purifies us and presents us before the Father as righteous people.
The text also speaks to us about predestination, which means that God had already determined our destiny in His plan of love. He predestined us to be His adopted children, living in relationship with Him. God's election is an invitation to love, holiness, and communion with Him.
Knowing that we were chosen by God should fill our hearts with gratitude and lead us to a life of holiness. As the Elect, we are called to live in a manner worthy of this calling, reflecting God's character in all we do. It is a privilege and a responsibility to live as God's chosen people, showing the world the love and holiness of the Father.

About this Plan
![Redeemed, Chosen, and Heirs](/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimageproxy.youversionapi.com%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fs3.amazonaws.com%2Fyvplans%2F50974%2F1280x720.jpg&w=3840&q=75)
God's mission is the expression of His eternal purpose for creation, especially for humanity. Since the fall of man, God has been working throughout history to redeem and restore the broken relationship between Him and humanity. God's mission, or Missio Dei, is centered on bringing all things back into harmony with His will, and the Church is called to be the primary heir and collaborator in this divine mission.
