"In addition to choosing Mary, Jesus chooses each of us because He loves us. Even though we are not the chosen one to carry the Lord, Jesus has unique and important purposes for each of our lives. Jesus chooses all of us as He tells us, 'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him (John 3:1 & 17).. From the Lord’s own words, we know He died for the sins of the whole world—not simply for the sins of a select few.
"The Lord tells us, 'You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you' )John 15:16). Jesus chose us because He loves us and wants us. The Lord knew us as we were forming in our mother’s womb, and He will love us forever (Psalm 139:13 - 16).. Throughout our lives, God never loves us less. His love for us never wavers and never changes.
The Apostle Peter tells us this vital truth, 'But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light' (1 Peter 2:9).. As Peter tells us, we are 'a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession.' This means that God chooses us because He loves us and places a great value on our worth. He created us, gives us life, and through Him, we can have eternal life. The Lord chooses all of us because He wants us to have a relationship with Him."
