Ephesians 1:4

Just as (in His love) he chose us in Christ (actually selected us for Himself as His own) before the foundation of the world, so that we would be holy (that is, consecrated, set apart for Him, purpose -driven) and blameless in His sight. In love.  

We have a purpose in the body of Christ, and we were selected. We have many gifts and talents along with our love for God. We can pray, encourage, and support our neighbors and our communities, ensuring that God’s representatives are occupying and thriving until Jesus comes. We have a purpose, and we are vital workers for God.
