90) How to Be Chosen - James 2:5-7

We're studying through the book of James, and today we're looking at chapter 2 verse 5, where James says, "Has not God chosen those who are …" (do you know how he finishes that sentence?)
It's quite the beginning to a sentence, isn't it? Normally we think of election in terms of God choosing individuals in eternity past before any of us had done anything. And that is what the Bible teaches. But the Bible also teaches that God chooses certain kinds of people, so if you want to be one of the chosen, all you have to do is be that type of person.
So let's take a close look today at how you can become chosen by God to be rich in faith and inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him.
