What does it mean to be chosen of God?

Answered in 1 source

Being chosen of God signifies that a believer is selected for salvation through His grace and purpose.

In 1 Peter 2:4, the phrase 'chosen of God and precious' reveals a profound truth about the believer's identity in Christ. To be chosen means to be selected by God for a specific purpose, rooted in His sovereign will. This selection is not based on any merit of the individual but solely on God's grace and mercy. It signifies a divine calling that brings a believer into a covenant relationship with God, ensuring salvation and eternal life. This being chosen underscores the believer's worth in God's eyes, leading to a life of gratitude and devotion in response to His glorious grace. Thus, understanding oneself as chosen by God encourages humility and a deep love for our Savior.
