Why God Chose Us Before the World Began?

Dr. Jeremiah opens the message by asking what it means that God chose believers “before the foundation of the world.” He explains that this choice is rooted in Christ, not in human merit, and invites listeners to consider the mystery of divine election.

What Adoption Looks Like in the Ancient World

He moves on to the blessing of adoption, describing how, in the first century, children gained legal status only after reaching maturity. By comparing this to the biblical context, Jeremiah shows how believers are adopted as mature sons and daughters of God, with the rights and privileges that come with that status.

Redemption Through Christ’s Blood

Jeremiah explains the concept of redemption as a buying back, using the ancient practice of buying a slave to illustrate how Christ’s sacrifice frees believers from sin. He emphasizes that this purchase is not about human effort but about God’s grace.

Enlightenment and the Mystery of God’s Will

He concludes the passage by discussing how the Holy Spirit brings wisdom, prudence, and the mystery of God’s will to believers. Jeremiah points out that this spiritual understanding is a gift that follows acceptance of Christ.

“We are chosen. We are adopted. We are accepted. And then the Bible says we’re redeemed.”

Through these themes, Dr. Jeremiah invites listeners to reflect on the depth of the blessings already deposited in their heavenly bank and to seek the fuller picture in the full audio.
