The Elect

Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Do you think that Jesus just walked up to strangers and pick out His disciples? No, He knew them from the first earth age before the over throw of satan, because of his rebellion against God and their dedication to God. That’s why He told Jeremiah, I knew you before you were in the womb. Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. It’s no accident that you seek God and have the desire to study God’s Word. Christ is saying that He is a friend to the Election and He will supply all of your needs when you are witnessing for Him. When we ask in Jesus’ name we are agreeing that Jesus is the Son of God and we are honoring Jesus Christ and are part of His Kingdom.
