This concept is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, where God frequently selects people to fulfill His divine plans and purposes.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, the idea of selection is evident in God's choice of Israel as His chosen people. <a href="/deuteronomy/7-6.htm">Deuteronomy 7:6</a> states, "For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His prized possession, above all peoples on the face of the earth." This selection was not based on Israel's merit but on God's sovereign will and love.<br><br>The selection of individuals for specific tasks is also prominent. For example, God selected Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt (<a href="/exodus/3-10.htm">Exodus 3:10</a>), and David was chosen to be king over Israel (<a href="/1_samuel/16-12.htm">1 Samuel 16:12</a>). These selections were often accompanied by divine anointing and empowerment, signifying God's approval and support.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of selection is closely associated with the idea of election and calling. Jesus Christ selected His twelve apostles to be His closest followers and to carry on His mission after His ascension (<a href="/mark/3-13.htm">Mark 3:13-19</a>). This selection was purposeful, as each apostle was chosen to fulfill a unique role in the early Church.<br><br>The Apostle Paul frequently discusses the theme of election in his epistles. In <a href="/ephesians/1-4.htm">Ephesians 1:4</a> , he writes, "For He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless in His presence." This passage highlights the belief that God's selection of believers is part of His eternal plan, emphasizing His sovereignty and grace.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>The concept of selection in the Bible underscores the sovereignty of God in choosing individuals and groups for His purposes. It reflects the belief that God's choices are based on His wisdom and foreknowledge, rather than human merit or effort. This has significant theological implications, particularly in discussions about predestination and free will.<br><br>From a conservative Christian perspective, the doctrine of election is often viewed as a testament to God's grace and mercy. It is believed that God's selection is an expression of His love and a means by which He accomplishes His redemptive plan for humanity.<br><br><b>Practical Applications</b><br><br>Understanding the biblical concept of selection can inspire believers to recognize their own calling and purpose within God's plan. It encourages Christians to seek God's guidance in discerning their roles and to trust in His sovereign will. Additionally, it serves as a reminder of the importance of humility, as God's selection is not based on human achievement but on His divine grace.<br><br>In summary, the theme of selection in the Bible is a profound expression of God's sovereign will and purpose. It is a recurring motif that highlights the divine initiative in choosing individuals and nations to fulfill His redemptive work throughout history.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
