Verse from 2 Thessalonians

主所爱的弟兄们，我们应该常常为你们感谢神，因为他从起初就拣选了你们，借着圣灵成圣的工作，和你们对真道的信心，使你们可以得救。(帖撒罗尼迦后书 2:13)

But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth. (2 Thessalonians 2:13)

Before time began, He desired to make you His own. This is why Scripture often uses the picture of adoption to communicate the amazing reality that, through no merit or worthiness of our own, we have been chosen by Him.

It’s God’s choice to love you and to make you part of His family.
