"A fourth reason why Jesus chooses us is to be His light to the world. Jesus tells us, “;You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:14 - 16. The Lord tells us in this passage that we are to be His light to the dark world.
"Jesus chooses us because He wants us to shine brightly for Him. The lost world cannot know about Jesus’ saving grace unless they are told. Jesus predestines all of us to be saved, yet everyone has the free choice to accept Him. Since the Lord has chosen us, He wants us to help those who don’t know Him. By shining brightly for Christ, we can be a light for Jesus in the dark world."
