One of the most powerful truths in Scripture is that God knows us personally. He does not see us as random faces in a crowd but as individuals called by name. Long before we were aware of Him, He had already chosen us and written our names on His heart.
When God says, “I have called you by name,” it reveals His intimate involvement in our lives. It means He intentionally created us, set us apart, and has a unique purpose for each of us. No mistake, no failure, no background can disqualify us from His calling.
Many people spend their lives searching for belonging, significance, and acceptance. But the Bible reassures us that our identity is found in being God’s chosen. We are not forgotten or overlooked-He has called us by name, and His love for us is personal, deliberate, and unshakable.

Our Thought on What the Bible Says About “The Chosen I Have Called You by Name”
The message woven throughout Scripture is clear: God personally calls His chosen ones by name. He does not call us randomly or generally; He calls each of us deliberately, knowing us deeply even before we were born. Being chosen means we belong to Him-it speaks of divine selection, purpose, and intimate relationship.
God’s calling is not based on our merit but rooted in His grace, love, and sovereign plan. He knows our past, our struggles, our gifts, and still calls us by name, setting us apart for His glory.
This truth gives us identity, confidence, and assurance that we are not forgotten or overlooked. No matter where life finds you, remember-He has called you by name, and His purpose for you is sure and eternal.
