Introduction

To day is going to be one of the most difficult things that i have ever taught you. We are going to talk about the fact that god has chosen you from all of eternity to be his child. This is one of the richest doctrines of the bible, and it will bring more meaning and more comfort into your life than just about any other. I'm going to teach the scriptures to you just as they are written,. There's not going to be a whole lot of interpretation or an opinion mixed in here. And i'd like to ask you just to take the stuff at face value and simply assume that the bible means what it says.
