 WELCOME! Today God tells His people about themselves and their relationship with Him as faithful and loving Lord and Savior. God’s people are "holy", that is, "set apart" for His loving attention. They are "chosen" by Him to be His people. This loving choice–is it because of something these people have done to win His favor? No! It is His sovereign choice in His own holiness and steadfast love; it is the fact that God always keeps His promises that cause God’s people to be just that. "It is because the Lord loves you and is keeping the oath that He swore to your fathers, that the Lord has brought you our with a mighty hand and redeemed you..." We, CTK people are also God’s chosen and beloved people. Not by blood and family, but by the grace of God in the faith gifted to us in God’s Word of Christ. By virtue of God’s steadfast love in Christ we are His holy, chosen people set apart to do His will. Thanks be to God! TAGS: Service Announcements
