       Verses 4 & 5a: “For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction” (ESV). God chose to establish this church, and chose each member individually—which as a whole, is the church. Paul would say in Romans 7: “My brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God” (Romans 7:4, ESV). Each of us belongs to Christ. God knew beforehand that he was going to call each one of us, and he did call us, and we are now his. And not only this, but he obviously is still calling others into his body. And we, as Christians, just like Paul and those with him, are responsible to spread the good news of the Gospel of Christ to the dying world around us, so that more people can come to know Jesus as personal Lord and Savior.
