A CHOSEN GENERATION. Not of any one ethnic group. Certainly not of any particular religious persuasion. This is a move of God that will embrace all races and religions. Causing them to < come out >, to be separated unto the Lord. Incorporated into one body, the body of Christ. 1 Pet. 2:9 They are identified as being a seed, a term used in the scriptures relating to the called of the Lord. They will serve Him with their whole being. They are accounted as being a generation for the Lord. The posterity of very God Himself. A people that He has brought into being to complete His own plan of salvation and redemption. Ps. 22:30 They are those who belong to the Lord and are considered by Him to be His nation, His people. More than that, they whom He has chosen to be His inheritance, His possession or His estate. Ps. 33:12 It is very obvious, from the writings of Paul, that the Lord deliberately called those < from the other side of the tracks > to be the chosen of the Lord. The things that men deem as important in this life the Lord does not take into consideration when determining His chosen. 1 Cor. 1:27-28
CHOSEN IN CHRIST JESUS. God would not be God if He did not know the end from the beginning. The intellect, the mind of God staggers the imagination. There is no way that humanity can even begin to comprehend His mind and thoughts. From the moment that the Lord determined to bring to pass His creation and salvation He purposed to call to Himself His chosen. Please consider carefully the ultimate of that calling and choice. Eph. 1:4 First of all, all that we are or ever will be is because we are <in> Christ. Outside of Christ Jesus we are nothing. Secondly, the place or condition of that choosing is that the chosen might be holy, pure and clean. Blameless, without spot, faultless, before Him. In His sight, not in the sight of men. This can only be accomplished because He has loved us with an everlasting and Godly love. We in return, love Him with our whole man, body, soul and spirit. The chosen are not a people whom the Lord has chosen to the rejection of others, but in His infinite wisdom He knew who would desire to follow Him. They then became His chosen.
