I love reading John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. Jesus chose us first by loving us and offering to die in our place on the cross. With this, He invited us to live with Him forever despite the sin in our lives that separates us from God. Without Jesus making His choice first, we would have no choice to make.
