Why is being chosen by God important in the Christian faith?

Answered in 1 source

Being chosen by God signifies His sovereign grace and purpose in salvation, highlighting our dependence on Him alone.

The doctrine of being chosen by God is central to Reformed theology and is articulated in Ephesians 1:4-5, where we learn that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world. This choice is not based on any merit within us but is purely the result of God's sovereign grace. Recognizing that we are chosen fosters humility and assurance in our faith, as it underscores that salvation is entirely a work of God. It liberates believers from the bondage of performance-based acceptance, allowing us to rest in God's unmerited favor.
